Don't make a new tag that just duplicates an existing one

Um, so this, this tag, we would not be doing this if it just simply duplicated something that already existed.

Summary

Introducing the podcast:image tag, Dave says they wouldn't be doing it if it merely duplicated something that already existed. The iTunes image tag has a single href that's assumed to be a square image meeting Apple's spec, which people often ignore. The new tag goes further, with aspect ratios, widths and a purpose attribute.
