Yes it does, but enough, imho.

I'm using RSS 1.0 with rdf tools (jena) and I see mainly following 
disadvantages:
1) image is both property and class (which is nasty and makes model 
using the property illegal in OWL-Lite and OWL-DL)
2) the ordered association between channel and items makes it impossible 
to just merge the triples of two versions of the same feed and have a 
useful result
3) classes don't start with an upper-case letter

While the 1.1 proposal solves 1 and 3 it introduces a new problem by 
making rss:Channel the root element loosing the RSS 1.0 feature that 
every RDF-Model can be serialized to and RSS file iff a resource of type 
rss:channel is known as main resource.
