Draft news item, conditionally scheduled to coincide with the completion 
of the vote:

   http://beta.feedvalidator.org/news/

These changes to the feedvalidator can go live at any time.  If there is 
interest, I can commit the changes immediately prior to the announcement 
so that announcement itself can mention that the feedvalidator changes 
are live.

As always, let me know if there are any questions or concerns.
