The current RSS feed places a lot of information (release group, series title, volume and chapter released) into the title field. I propose separating out this information into separate fields within the rss feed.

While I remember some suggestions to custom RSS feeds, I know that would increase server strain so instead I suggest something that would only require the modification of a single php file which would pull about the same amount of strain compared to the current set up. Users could then more simply filter the RSS feed on their side via the new fields.
