Looks good. The "misplaced Item" link is broken; it should be to this:

http://beta.feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/MisplacedItem.html

Like the other warnings, the "items with more than one enclosure"
warning ought to lead with language from the RSS Profile, such as
these parts:

"Support for the enclosure element in RSS software varies
significantly because of disagreement over whether the specification
permits more than one enclosure per item. Although the author intended
to permit no more than one enclosure in each item, this limit is not
explicit in the specification. ... For best support in the widest
number of aggregators, an item SHOULD NOT contain more than one
enclosure."

If you take the changes live before the vote ends Monday morning, and
the vote passes, I will mention the validator update in the
announcement.
