Idea for views and RSS

Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the right place to propose an idea for modifying/improving the views module (or, to be more specific, the views_rss module). If not, feel free to delete this post and please accept my apologies.

In running into my own problem trying to get a views-generated RSS to include what I want it to, it's occurred to me that perhaps instead of ignoring any selections of "Fields" for a view of type "Views RSS: RSS feed" — which by default just grabs a few select pieces of information from each node — that the "fields" selected should be added to the feed, with the user-defined "Label" indicating the XML tag to be used.

e.g. if I had a CCK type with a "publisher" field, I could add have that field appear in the RSS feed by simply adding it to the Fields list, and set the label to something like "dc:publisher" to have it added to each item wrapped in .

This would, admittedly, allow for inclusion of all sorts of tags that aren't technically up to RSS spec. Fortunately, such tags are usually just ignored....

Apologies if this functionality (or something like it) is already available or planned for views 2, or if there's a module out there to enable this. I haven't been able to find any candidates in the drupal.org modules respository.
