hAudio-RSS is a way of embeding an RSS2 Podcast in XHTML or more accurately a way of extracting a podcast from hAudio and XHTML using XSLT. Hypertext Podcasting if you like.
Its done by Embeding the hAudio Microformat in Semantic HTML and transforming it using XSLT.
hAudio-RSS has been updated to version 2, the code has been modified and does not contain any suspected anti-patterns (info being scraped from the head not visible). The biggest change is that hAudio-RSS is now licensed under a Creative Commons Public Domain License. This is because microformats.org have recently required all contributions on the microformats wiki have a public domain license, which personally I find is a smart move, Anybody can freely use microformats anywhere for anything and not have to worry about possible licensing or copyright infringements. hAudio-RSS is an extension of hAudio so I feel it should have the same license. There is also a free Template that you can download of the whole hAudio-RSS v2 markup also released into the Public domain which includes, XHTML 1.0 Strict document, CSS, Bookmarklet, Buttons and guidelines. Download hRSS-template.
hAudio-RSS is causing a little flutter in the open media web community so much so that back in December it became part of a small discussion over at songbird nest called Portable Playlists and other POSH-ibilities presented (amongst others) by Tantek which was kindly recorded to video by Citizen Tara Hunt, so without any further rambling may I present Tantek's Demo.
