This is super minor but I had noticed in the podcast apps I use that the descriptions for the podcasts were cut off fairly often. Finally took a look at the RSS feeds for the Bombcast, Beastcast, & Presents, and they're getting cut off at 255 characters (excluding encodings for apostrophes and the like). Doing some checking online, I can see that the <itunes:subtitle> element does have to be a max of 255 chars, but the <itunes:summary> and <description> elements are also being cut off at the same point even though they don't have that restriction (according to Apple, <itunes:summary> can be 4000 chars; all their other tags are restricted to 255).
(Apologies if this was already on the radar -- I tried searching the forums but nothing relevant came up in a search for the itunes XML tags.)
