 /**
-* Adds RSS Media Enclosures for "podcasting" by examining links to media files
+* Adds RSS Media Enclosures for "podcasting" by examining links to media files,
+* and attachments which are media files. Please note that the RSS that is 
+* produced cannot be strictly valid for the linked files, since we do not know
+* the files' sizes and cannot include them in the "length" attribute. At 
+* present, the validity (and therefore the podcast working in most software)
+* can only be ensured for attachments, and not for links.
+* Note also that iTunes does some things very badly - one thing it does is 
+* refuse to download ANY of your files if you're using "file.php?file=blah"
+* and can't use the more elegant "file.php/blah" slasharguments setting. It 
+* stops after ".php" and assumes the files are not media files, despite what 
+* is specified in the "type" attribute. Dodgy coding all round!
 * 
 * @param    $item     object representing an RSS item
 * @return   string    RSS enclosure tags
