Bogus might not be the right word - but it's not far off. At best it's
a workaround for RSS 2.0's lack of a standard mime type.
Web-Architecturally it sucks, Tim Berners-Lee described it as

Anne van Kesteren describes [2] the situation nicely - "compare it to
a jpg URI scheme". So we'd have :
jpg:http://example.org/image.jpg
