Sorry I forgot to add that it is also possible to extract a RSS2 
enclosures (a podcast) by simply adding a rel-enclosure[1]  to hAtom. 
example:

<a rel="enclosure" type="audio/mpeg" href="...">today's podcast</a>.

If you also wish to extract the required length attribute of a RSS2 
enclosure you can pass that along with the type specifier
example:

<a rel="enclosure" type="type="audio/mpeg;length=22334669"" 
href="...">today's podcast</a>.

The length is the size of the file in bytes.

Thanks.
