Is this rss feed valid?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" >
  <channel>
    <title>tttttts</title>
    <description></description>
    <link>http://sssss.com</link>
    <item>
  <title>Test</title>
<link>http://ssss.com/</link>
</item>
  </channel>
</rss>

Domain is password protected. I can't use web services to check.
Is this valid rss? Safari is throwing this error:

Safari can’t open the page “feed://ddd”. The error is: “unknown error” (CFURLErrorDomain:303) Please choose Help > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.

But its rendering fine in IE and FF. Chrome is just dispaying the xml as content.

You could upload your feed to a live server and then check it here:

http://feed2.w3.org/check.cgi

EDIT: I checked it by creating a file and adding it to my server. Here are the recommendations:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

line 10, column 0: item should contain a guid element [help]
  </item>

line 11, column 2: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]
  </channel>

EDIT 2: Chrome does not display xml feed data in a readable way (like FF and IE). In order to make it readable, you will need to style the content with xsl.
