good catch. i have never seen /10 in the wild, so it is safe to say that 
the schema is wrong. while it would have been a good idea to version the 
xmlns, that ship has sailed.

i very much doubt it. one of the highest quality parsers on any language 
is called ultra liberal feed parser in recognition of the sorry state of 
most rss feeds out there.

http://feedparser.org/

in light of that, i don't think xsd validation is a viable strategy, sadly.
