Hi,

We'd be happy to implement this for GeneDB. A few comments:

a) I'd agree with Aaron J. Mackey that we need to be able to distinguish 
between different strains/isolates.

b) Presumably binomial name extends to trinomial name as necessary ie we 
need to distinguish Trypanosoma_brucei_gambiense from our other 
trypanosoma species.

c) I'll admit to no detailed knowledge of writing RSS but it sounds a 
confusing world (The myth of RSS compatibility, 
http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss)! Is it 
worth specifying a version sooner rather than later, or are the 
differences not great in practice?
