Mark, this is looking very good. One point, however.
For non-incremental feeds, it would be helpful to have the option of
being able to reference archived version of the feed (e.g. prior
top-ten-lists). This could be accomplished by allowing fh:prev elements
in a feed with fh:incremental set to false.
<feed>
...
<fh:incremental>false</fh:incremental>
<fh:prev>http://www.example.com/oldfeed</fh:prev>
</feed>
means that http://www.example.com/oldfeed is the previous (I hate to use
the word) "version" of the feed.
thoughts?

Changes:
- fh:stateful -> fh:incremental, with appropriate changes in text
- more explicit cardinality information
- implications of fh:prev being an Absolute URI spelled out
- more explicit white space handling
