@dave I thought I'd share this with you because I hope it interests you. All the work you've been doing with Podcast Index could be extended further to include blogs (if that's something you find interesting?)
I hope it makes some sense. 😃

@fahrni Would love for blogs to be a part of that work. We have a "blog" medium in the <podcast:medium> tag spec already:

BTW, you can certainly do threaded conversations in RSS. @adam and I did it in the FreedomController many years ago using the <source> RSS2.0 tag to contain the url of the root post with a breadcrumb trail attached:
