I get something like one complaint a week about LinuxChix Live which
goes like this:
Complaint: Your RSS feed is not valid XML
Response: Yep, one of the feeds I pull in used an unescaped & in the
title.
or
Complaint: You don't declare a doctype! Have you heard about XHTML
[it's always bloody XHTML they want, the hardest one to make
people conform to], it's amazing! All you'd have to do is
run your page through this validator every hour!
Response: I'm not interested in complaining to the writers every time
one of them uses HTML 2 in their entry.
Do other people get these? Are there Planet/feedparser hacks to do
cleaning of the feeds or do you just let them go?
