No, read more carefully. That's how I think as a *search engine user* - 
someone trying to find results. I'm not all developer, I'm also a lover. 
When I'm looking for sexual positions, I could care less if a German, 
transvestite, transient, or whomever has said it. I could care less if the 
result comes from Wikipedia, BigDongsForU, or My Life As A Porn Star. I 
care about the result, not the marketing - it's never about who said what. 
If you know nothing about sexual positions, how are you gonna know that 
the "Kama Sutra" is better than "Adam & Eve" when you've heard neither 
name before? The marketing is wasted: it's the content that matters. 
Absolutely nothing to do with development.

As far as I can tell, webchick gave you an answer on the drupal.org 
forums. That answer will work just fine for your needs.Anyone else who 
searches through the forums will find it too. However, it will never get 
into Drupal's RSS code, because Drupal has to care about the purported 
standards of RSS, which say a site title goes in <channel><title> and an 
item title goes into <item><title>. To break the standards to satisfy SEO, 
especially one that isn't even in the wild (searched on technorati 
lately?) would be premature and, in this particular case, certainly not 
"pack leading".

Show me a top usability or designer folk that says, in black and white, 
with hordes of yes-men agreeing, that the blog title should preface the 
item title in an RSS feed. And maybe then you'll have a chance to sway me.

Actually, you had it answered on November 23rd, on the forums. For a 
mastah of the community process, you've not checked all avenues.
