Some thoughts about extended feeds & microcontent

Is a feed the right place for your data?
Do reviews belong in the feed or in the content?
How about calendar events--in the feed or in the content?
If it's just generated via template, why not both? Or is this where the law intends I should be conservative?
Is anyone working on a Markdown of microcontent?

I have some pictures with a small amount of fairly static metadata which I previously had in RDF in a text file. I started moving it into an RSS 1.0 yesterday. So it's still RDF but with the focus on syndication and with the extra metadata supplied with a separate namespace. Then I had misgivings about that. Having read this stuff I think I should perhaps leave the data where it is and create an independent RSS feed to point to it.
