+1 I suspect the accumulated WG fatigue means probably the only viable route would be with the help of new blood. That isn't to suggest a completely new WG might not be appropriate, I honestly don't know. It might be that all is needed that the model described in Y!mRSS be abstracted from the RSS 2.0 specifics, then re-expressed as Atom & RDF. Given that Atom (and RDF) both have fairly clean extension mechanisms, it shouldn't be necessary to cover every edge case in the 'primary' media extension, just get the core down.
