Summary
Dave believes the podcast namespace should eventually be the single, complete namespace, with equivalents for the iTunes tags. The iTunes namespace belongs to Apple, not to podcasting. The iTunes block tag, widely misused as a general block, is his example of something that belongs in the open namespace, done better and more granular.

I did it to show how much faster the the open podcast ecosystem can respond when you don't have to wait on a company to make a decision.

this is a perfect example of something that needs to be in the podcast namespace and not part of iTunes.
