A while back I crufted up an 0.91 schema [1] as part of Google2RSS [2]. 

Justin Rudd also has WXS [3] and RNG [4] schemas for 0.92. The links are
currently 404, but you could probably contact him directly to get
copies.

which implies that there are lots of broken RSS feeds on the web today.
Considering that the describing a structure for XML and ensuring that
documents conform to that structure is generally a solved problem I find
it perplexing that no schema for RSS (besides an RDF schema) exists. 

Anyone care to enlighten me?
