RSS 2.funky
Randy Charles Martin: Funky elements are awarded funky points depending on how funky they are. A really funky element gets as many as 5 funky points, where a somewhat funky element gets only 1 funky point. Summing your funky element scores and you get your total funky score or TFS.
I'm still not sure what funky means in this context. The best collection of sound bites I've seen on the subject are collected by Philippe Janvier.
Randy gives top funky score to dc:date. Based on my reading of the subject, I would disagree. Given the clues above, it would seem to me that it is pubDate that is funky. After all, in exactly the version of the RSS 0.9x family of specifications which introduced the concept of namespaces that chose to not to respect prior art and to introduce pubDate. One that is more complicated and harder to get right. One that is harder to sort in reverse chronological order. One that is less friendly to our brethren in other countries.
