There isn't an SRU namespace for extensions, 1 is Library of Congress, 2
is me, etc.

I'm happy with that too, because there's nothing we could do to
prevent it. Better to say here is how you officially unofficially
support RSS as a response schema, if that is an important thing to be
able to do, than to simply ignore it.
Considering OpenSearch and the number of RSS aware applications, I think
it's an important thing to be able to do.
