Re: [syndication] Mixing XHTML and RSS

[Tristan Louis <tristan@tnl.net>]

Thanks for the note but the problem arises out of the need for a DOCTYPE to be
specified in an HTML document. ( More on this at
http://www.tnl.net/blog/2003/4/24#Noconvergence ). Basically, it looks like it's
impossible to just put XHTML in a namespace and have it validate without a
DOCTYPE. Even the W3C feed fails the check...
