The draft currently says;
In RSS 2.0-formatted feeds, two entries are duplicates if they have
the same guid element. The update time of an entry is not defined
by RSS 2.0, but the feed-level update time can be determined by the
pubDate element.
Should 'pubDate' be changed to 'lastBuildDate'?

In RSS 2, the equivalent of atom:feed/atom:updated is rss/channel/
lastBuildDate. I think it is a good practice to always include it.
By the way, do publishers need to use an atom:id element in RSS 2
feeds since there is no equivalent in RSS 2?

I considered that, but it seems to me the only reason they are in
the Atom
examples is because Atom requires those elements - they don't
actually add
anything illustrative to the example. However, if you really want
to make
the examples identical element-for-element, then the Atom feeds
should all
include a subtitle element to match RSS's required channel
description.
IMHO.
