How t o add extended element to RSS 2.0

[flashfan]

We have short and long descriptions. Is there a way to add an extended element for the long description?

I mean to add an extra element like 'description' for each item.

The only elements of the <item> are:

title: The title of the item.
link: The URL of the item.
description: The item synopsis.
author: Email address of the author of the item.
category: Includes the item in one or more categories.
comments: URL of a page for comments relating to the item.
enclosure: Describes a media object that is attached to the item.
guid: A string that uniquely identifies the item.
pubDate: Indicates when the item was published.
source: The RSS channel that the item came from.

The idea of the RSS feed is to show a description and then take the user to the content. I am not sure exactly how two descriptions would be useful but that doesn't mean that I know everything.

Found a solution:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:ExtraField="http://www.mydomain.com/ExtraField#">
...
<item>
  <title>..</title>
  <pubDate>..</pubDate>
  <description>..</description>
  <ExtraField:LongDesc>....</ExtraField:LongDesc>
 ..
</item>

Will be interesting to see how this works. Any chance of stickying me the URL when you have it set up?
