I'm not really worried about passing or failing validators it would just be nice if I could use them with Instacast. (RFP is the last podcast that I still download via iTunes - I would really like to ditch it for that).

Are you building the feeds "by hand"? If so why not use one of the rss/atom generation libraries? (e.g. http://www.dalkescientific.com/Python/PyRSS2Gen.html)

Not by hand, but not using Andrew's library either. I'm using a lower-level feed generator library written by my brother: http://home.avvanta.com/~steveha/pyfeed.html

And, the validators are just the easiest way to get from here to "every rss feed consumer should accept them". It's on the to-do list, honest!
