It might be nice to have it check to see if thing like the image link have changed - perhaps once a month (or less often depending on how much load it causes). The reason I mention it is that a feed that I maintain (#156562) changed its image shortly after I submitted it (because the validator was complaining that the image I had used was too wide :-) By having it only once a month, I doubt the SEO folks will be that interested.
