Is the RSS Validator acting funky?

As a followup to yesterday's entry, a look at the source code of the RSS Validator reveals the elements it considers to be duplicates:

Item elements:

author and dc:creator
category and dc:subject
pubDate and dc:date

Channel elements:

copyright and dc:copyright
creativeCommons:license and cc:license
generator and admin:generatorAgent
language and dc:language
lastBuildDate and dc:termsModified
managingEditor and dc:creator
pubDate and dc:date
webmaster and dc:publisher

I haven't tested each one, but it appears the validator rejects any RSS file that duplicates these elements, suggesting that the problem be fixed by deleting the core element (or in one case, the creativecommons element).

There's more discussion of this on SSF-DEV.
