Re: Feed Validator reports "misplaced item", seems wrong to me

I realize it's just a recommendation, but I'm trying to be as "clean"  
as possible. I'm wondering if the validator is correct or not  
regarding placement of that <atom...> line. I placed it there based on  
some specification I read somewhere ... can't recall where ... not  
because I guessed or anything like that. Surely there is some official  
specification about this somewhere that will answer the question.
