Thanks, and obviously I second that. It is OK for iTunes to be a bit
more lenient than the FeedValidator, but if you ask people to first
validate their feed, this should eliminate a percentage of your support
calls. The FeedValidator is open source, and contributions in the form
of code, documentation, or testcases are all eagerly welcomed.
In fact, I'd go further and suggest that the examples in this document
be passed through the feedvalidator. It spots a number of issues, one
of them quite serious:
> <rss xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd"; version="2.0">
As has already been mentioned, case is significant in namespaces. The
feedvalidator only accepts http://www.itunes.com/DTDs/Podcast-1.0.dtd.
Let me know if this should be changed.

This element is never closed, which is a fatal error.
