media:content attributes are lost

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

    import feedparser
    feed = feedparser.parse('http://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=special%3Apopular&type=deviation&offset=0') # deviantART RSS
    item = feed['items'][0]
    print repr(item.media_content) # u''
    print repr(item.media_thumbnail) # u''

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

There should be some way to access the url attribute of media:content, and the 
width/height of media:thumbnail would also be helpful. Instead, we get 
zero-length unicode strings, which apparently represent the contained text of 
the element (i.e., there is none).

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

feedparser.__version__ is '4.1'; it is ubuntu 10.04's 4.1-14 package.

This is what I get:
>>> import feedparser
>>> feed = 
feedparser.parse('http://backend.deviantart.com/rss.xml?q=special%3Apopular&type
=deviation&offset=0') # deviantART RSS
>>> item = feed['items'][0]
>>> print repr(item.media_content) # u''

>>> print repr(item.media_thumbnail) # u''

The problems have been fixed in the current HEAD of Feedparser which you can 
check out from the repository.
