Confusion over RSS2.0 Spec

I'm trying to create an RSS 2.0 [1] compliant feed but I'm meeting
some confusion over the pubDate element.

It clearly states next to the pubDate that the date should be
formatted in compliance with the specification given in RFC 822. They
even give the following date as an example:

"Sat, 07 Sep 2002 00:00:01 GMT"

However RFC 822 [2] clearly states that the year portion of the date
should contain two digits and not four. Which format is RSS 2.0
compliant. The four digit year or the two digit year?

Cheers,

Simon.
