A quick grep of the cache files from my Jawfish service (which converts RSS to JavaScript for display on sites that can't do it some other way) turns up 611 feeds containing an <image> element, all of which appear to use it only for channel images.
Okay, I guess it's been a while since I knew where to find a feed that used <image> in <item>s.
