Atom 1.0 vs RSS 2.0

I've been looking into RSS 2.0 and XHTML as I want to dump the XHTML output into the RSS 2.0 feed, just like I do with my Atom 1.0 feed, but it seems that RSS 2.0 is a bit crap, to put it bluntly. Other people have written good comparisons of the two formats, and I'm fairly certain that Atom is a much better choice. This means I won't bother rewriting my RSS 2.0 feeds, if you want the full content then use the Atom 1.0 feed. Sorry, but it's not my fault that RSS 2.0 sucks.

Trillian seems to be happy with the Atom feed, so no complaints from this direction
