Agreed, it's a compromise for the time being.

It's obviously more of an annoyance than a critical bug, just
something one of our users encountered and reported; as such it can
wait until we come up with a better solution.

GeoRSS support (#6547) is a more important feature, and in a similar
predicament.  Essentially, there needs to be hooks to customize the
low-level XML elements in RSS and Atom feeds so that location elements
may be inserted.  At the moment, I cannot see how this could be done
without duplicating and modifying large portions of
`django.contrib.syndication`. [1]  I think there's enough work on the
core devs plate for 1.0 besides rewriting syndication, so this one can
wait as well -- we've got a deadline to meet.

Thanks for the compliment, your support and feedback, it's been fun :)
