Ability for podcasts to recommended other podcasts

Thinking something like this could exist in the feed so that shows could recommend other podcasts:

Pseudo tags

<recommended-podcasts>
  <podcast id=""/>
  <podcast id=""/>
  <podcast id=""/>
</recommended-podcasts>

I can see issues with shows in networks like Radiotopia, Earwolf or Panoply dumping every show in their network in there, but... helping flesh out the issues is why I'm posting it here. This is one use case: "Neighbors is a podcast from Nashville, TN telling the stories of those around us. For listeners of This American Life, Radiolab, and Wiretap."

Maybe the better way would be to link to an OPML file from the feed. And I think their is already a namespace for this, but I can't find it right now. Maybe by Dave Winer, maybe it was related to blogRoll.

Found the namespace I was thinking of. So mySubscriptions being recommended feeds, blogRoll being the network. However atom:links might be better than this old spec?

I'm not sure network employees that use this feature will be able to resist the temptation, even if they duplicate the list in a (for example) more semantically-correct <synMedia:network> element.
