Calling For A Directory Opt Out

Let me be the first to call for a standard directory Opt Out tag within RSS feeds. iTunes has one implemented. Why not the other directories?

I would like to see a standard tag like or something like that added to the RSS Namespace. Each directory should provide a single word, unique identifier that feed owners can add to their header information to prevent listing is they so desire.

And no directory should be able to auto opt in podcasts. In the early days we assumed that podcast directories would use our content in a non-commercial manner. Not the case these days. Podcasters should have a simple choice to keep their content listed on the sites they choose.
