Adventure in RSS

Imagine my surprise when I discovered that the default RSS feed generator in Mambo doesn't support HTML. Madness!

Anyway having upgraded to RSSXT
I now have lovely RSS feeds. I'm trying hard not think about the
chocolate-teapotishness of an RSS feed from a CMS not doing HTML.

On the subject of RSS feeds here are some things that annoy me:

Not setting PubDate.
Adverts (seriously, just don't.)
Advertising Last-Modified or ETag in your HTTP headers but not sending
back 304 when they are used as part of the page request. Yes Liberated Syndication, I'm looking at you.

I’m Embarrassed

You are .rm You try to keep it real, but you're just a<br />
servant of the stream.  Nobody really likes you all that<br />
much

Once for doing the stupid test. Twice for the result.

Damn.
