I see in the spec that these two attributes are defined for the atom:link element, so I supposed they don't really fit into the "undefined" attribute category? I hope this helps, if not, I suspect you'll find more experts over on the actual feedvalidator list: http://groups.google.com/group/feedvalidator-users -- olivier
