Dave Winer (creator of RSS) has commented on Apple's inclusion of iTunes specific tags in Podcast:
"I think it's kind of a bad idea to use a trademark in the name of a namespace. I think Apple may regret doing this. Also their competitors, already objecting to the use of "pod" in the name of the category, may further object to supporting information with a trademark of a competitor as its name...."
As I am working on an OSS project with Podcast, I wish Apple had used a more generic namespace tag.
