Ah, I had missed that. This leads to a question for the mailing list.
Does an informative extension that appears at the feed level (as
compared to in entries) indicate:
a) this information pertains to each entry
b) this information pertains to the feed itself
c) this information pertains to each entry and to the feed itself
d) completely unknown unless specified in the extension definition

IMHO, it depends entirely on how the extension is defined. The various
extensions I have put together (e.g. comments, expires, etc), the
metadata can be placed on the feed/source level but is only relevant on
the entry level (same model as <author />). One could easily imagine,
however, that other extensions would apply only on the feed level. It's
entirely up to the extension and implementors should make no assumptions.
