They are nested, via the channel's rdf:Seq containter.  This is an 'rdf
thing'.  There are any number of situations where having only a hierarchical
relationship is problematic.  RDF serialized in XML allows a number of
clever ways to break free of the hierarchy should an application benefit
from it.  That said, a great many RSS-oriented applications do not take
advantage of the possibility.
