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.
