microformats
I have heard about some of these formats (or in some cases the standards) for years, although no one ever seems to be willing to adopt them on a wide scale. hCard was supposed to take off with beaming info from handheld to handheld.
For me hCalendar I think holds the greatest interest. With hCalendar groups could distribute their events calander through their XML feed and the receipient could get those items added to their calendaring program of choice. Better yet - conferences could use it to communicate changes through Bluetooth.
The only real problem I can see with using some of these formats within an RSS feed is finding a way to format things. Bloglines does some things with the weather feed they have setup, but we need a way to generically handle this.
