RSS precedence rules

James Snell: Why can't an item contain both a category and a dc:subject? Sure, it's redundant but it shouldn't be illegal.

On Mark's and my todo list is to more precisely distinguish between things that are outright illegal and things that are merely bad practice.

While such duplication is not clearly illegal, there are enough questions on the precedence rules between items that have overlapping semantics (examples: Ben Hammersley, Michael Bernstein, Timothy Appnel) that I would definitely classify this as a bad practice.
