I think we should list Craft Wondrous Item as a feat Xykon has. There is no clear evidence that the rules weren't being followed in this instance, and thus we should assume they were in effect. Plus, common sense suggests that Xykon has the feat, given how much time he spends crafting magic items.
I have no issues with this - and Redcloak has not been shown crafting any other items to justify the feat.
