And the syntax of mail addresses allows weirder constructs, especially domain literals like '[127.8.9.10]'. > So the validator could be both stricter (only accept 2-3-and 4-letter > top domain name in the list,) and more tolerant (a corollary, accept > longer top-level domain name.) What you call "stricter" would be wrong for addresses in the 'museum' or 'travel' TLDs. Or for addresses in a 'localhost' domain, that's at least syntactically allowed. Check out <http://feedvalidator.org/>, it reports the same non-error, and it finds another non-error "missing atom rel self". I think the W3C validator is an older variant of <http://feedvalidator.org/>. (?) BTW, has RSS 2.0 some kind of "official" schema or at least a DTD ?
