OK, this is what I currently have; comments?
Appendix B. Use in RSS 2.0
As previously noted, while this specification's extensions are
described in terms of the Atom feed format, they are also useful in
similar formats. This informative appendix demonstrates how they
can
be used in an RSS 2.0-formatted [9] feed.
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
lastBuildDate element, if present.

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 section 4.2 of the draft,

of a feed document is determined by its feed-level atom:updated
element.
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.
