It strikes me that it's missing guidance on how to mark up thumbnails  
for images.

The "obvious" way would seem to be:

	<div class="hmedia">
	  <a class="full.jpeg" rel="enclosure" class="photo">
	    <img class="thumbnail" src="thumb.jpeg" alt="whatever">
	  </a>
	</div>

But, as class="photo" is used to provide a graphical preview for  
video and audio files, it seems that a better way would be to use  
class="photo" for the thumbnail and rel="enclosure" (but not  
class="photo") for the full sized image:

	<div class="hmedia">
	  <a class="full.jpeg" rel="enclosure">
	    <img class="photo" src="thumb.jpeg" alt="whatever">
	  </a>
	</div>

Though that is not immediately obvious, so I think it would benefit  
from explicit mention in any spec.
