 It is in the RSS2.0 spec, so I think we should support it.  Aggregators
 shouldn't have any problems with it since we are only adding new tags.
 I'm decently sure MediaRSS was/is being used on a number of VIP sites,
 many of which are big media companies.

 My $0.02 for any readers that don't parse it -- is it because 27% of the
 web doesn't provide the tag? Chicken/egg.  It's in the spec, so I think we
 should emit them (or at least only the featured thumbnail which didn't
 exist until after MediaRss was written).
