GeoRSSLayer attributes

I see from the GeoRssLayer documentation in the API that several attributes are associated with each graphic displayed from a GeoRSS feed. On one of the GeoRSS feeds that I am trying to read, they use <title> and <description> tags, but the ESRI API docs state that they support <title> and <Summary> attributes. I also see that the USGS earthquake feeds that are used in the samples use a <description> instead of <Summary>. I don't know that much about GeoRSS or RSS for that matter, but are description and summary interchangeable?

Also, is it possible to embed a link to an image in the description/summary tag using CDATA and have that show up when the point is clicked on the map?

Finally, we are trying to get a GeoRSS feed from our server which is setup to use https, and the GeoRSS feed is on another domain that is http. Is it possible to use a proxy to get this feed similar to what is in the docs and shown below? Will the site with the GeoRSS feed still need the Crossdomain and clientaccesspolicy files installed?

<esri:GeoRssLayer Source="https://OurServer.com/Proxy/proxy.ashx?url=http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/catalogs/1day-M2.5.xml" />

Sorry for so many questions at once but I am new to ingesting RSS feeds with Silverlight.

Thanks,
Charlie
