Aha, good question. So getting your feed indexed is step 1. Step 2 is
presentation!
STANDARD ENHANCED RESULTS
If your site falls into one of the categories listed at
http://developer.search.yahoo.com/start, and your feed supplies data that
matches the expected structure for one of those categories, then congratuations!
Your results should get a enhanced display automatically, for all Y! search
users. (Note: Video, Documents, and Games are in production. The other five
categories are under bucket test and will be launching soon -- we're still
tweaking the designs.)
CUSTOM SEARCHMONKEY APPLICATION
If your site does not fall into one of these categories, or if you don't like
the standard presentations, then you can create a custom SearchMonkey
application using the SearchMonkey developer tool,
http://developer.search.yahoo.com/wizard/index. If your application is high
quality and makes it into the Gallery, we can then consider it for default on.

fine, if anyone has problems with feeds and thinks this issue is the cause,
please reply with the issue; this way we will know if there are issues that
caused by this error and we could ask and follow it here to find out what is the
fix.

the indexing is failing. The "Documents Processed: 0" field is also inaccurate.

still open for business. Thanks for your patience!
