RE: [syndication] Bad entities

["Jeff Barr" <jeff@vertexdev.com>]

Excellent, thanks Julian! The feed is now clean.

This OCS feed will be a space to watch over the next week or so:

	http://www.syndic8.com/genfeed.php?format=ocs

Tonight the syndic8 Reviewer team will start approving feeds that 
have been submitted and found to be producing valid XML and fresh 
headlines. As the feeds are approved, the list will grow from its 
current set of 842 to at least 2000. 1303 feeds are awaiting 
approval, and another 1134 are currently being polled. The site 
is tracking extensive history and statistics on the feeds. For 
example, take a look at this page and at the tabs (Poll Results, 
Statistics, Headlines, XML, Action Log, and Notes):

http://www.syndic8.com/feedinfo.php?FeedID=881&Section=xml&SummaryID=49

Anyone who wants to be a reviewer can sign up at:

You can also elect to be an Evangelist, a Scraper, or a Fixer (see
the site for more info on what this means).

Jeff;

It's an rdf format. So the full rdf definition will solve it eg

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE rdf:RDF [
<!ENTITY % HTMLlat1 PUBLIC
 "-//W3C//ENTITIES Latin 1 for XHTML//EN"
 "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml-lat1.ent";>
%HTMLlat1;
]>

<rdf:RDF
  xmlns:rdf = "http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";
  xmlns:ocs = "http://InternetAlchemy.org/ocs/directory#";
  xmlns:dc  = "http://purl.org/metadata/dublin_core#";>

etc ...
