Now the Tag URI scheme's [1] been approved by the IESG, maybe that's worth considering again. If I get chance I'll see what Yahoo's Media RSS looks like as Atom (it's currently written for RSS 2.0). I had a play the other day and it translated into RDF/XML with RSS 1.0 pretty nicely [2], I think it could also lend itself to being a fairly format-agnostic vocabulary in a similar manner to FotoNotes.
