I'm jumping in here without having studied the whole thread,
but one quick point (all else looks good...): perhaps enc:url= could
be replaced with use of the rdf:resource= notation, which will 
tell generic RDF tools that a URI is being used.

ie.

<item rdf:about="http://foo.bar/baz">
    <title>There's no pleasing some people..</title>
    ...
    <enc:enclosure enc:url="http://foo.bar/baz.mp3"
		enc:type="audio/mpeg" enc:length="65535"/>
    <enc:enclosure enc:url="http://foo.bar/baz.mp3.torrent"
		enc:type="application/x-bittorrent" enc:length="655"/>
  </item>

becomes:

<item rdf:about="http://foo.bar/baz">
    <title>There's no pleasing some people..</title>
    ...
    <enc:enclosure rdf:resource="http://foo.bar/baz.mp3"
	enc:type="audio/mpeg" enc:length="65535"/>
    <enc:enclosure rdf:resource="http://foo.bar/baz.mp3.torrent"
	enc:type="application/x-bittorrent" enc:length="655"/>
  </item>


This would allow transparent merging of such data with 
other info, eg. 
	<rdf:Description rdf:about="http://foo.bar/baz.mp3"
			xmlns:cc="http://web.resource.org/cc/">
			<cc:permits rdf:resource="http://web.resource.org/cc/Reproduction"/>
			<foaf:maker>
			  <foaf:Person foaf:name="whoever made the mp3"/> 
			</foaf:maker>
	</rdf:Description>

Using enc:url is OK, but will make certain RDF queries harder
to express, since the RDF layer wouldn't realise that the thing that 
is the value of the enc:enclosure property is the thing with the
cc:permits and foaf:maker property, so more application-level smarts 
would be required.

just a thought...
