RSS/Atom feed oddness
Most blogging systems provide alleged RSS and/or Atom feeds. A surprising number of these are broken. Blogspot, for instance, uses <br/> instead of <br />.Not a huge problem, certainly, but it annoys one of the more common parsing libraries. A local community website has custom written blogging software. Its RSS is fine... except that the dates are in
UK/Ireland local format, that is DD/MM/YY. Dates are supposed to be in
RFC822 format. The local site having broken RSS is acceptable; Blogspot, not so much.
