Or we could *gasp* provide some documentation explaining the major
differences between this version and the version before it.  A detailed,
human-readable changelog really ought to be provided in each download --

A changelog entry saying "RDF and RSS 0.92 formats are no longer
supported" ought to be sufficient for a lot of people.
