Quote
I think that the way you get around that is just with sanity in the aggregator, you basically say, Well, nobody's gonna have 45 guests on an episode, right?

Summary
Asked about feeds abusing a person tag with dozens of entries, Dave says there's abuse potential in everything in RSS, from keyword stuffing to 50 categories. The answer is sanity in the aggregator: the Index takes no more than eight categories and would index the first few persons. A culture of the right way to do things will develop, and hosts control their own systems.
