Unnoticed RSS error
Interesting - it looks like the RSS feeds generated by Blogger are missing the RSS 1.0 namespace. Funny that nobody has noticed this - I guess most RSS parsers just munge namespaces altogether and assume that RSS (even 1.0) tags are valid in the default namespace.
Here's the <rdf:RDF> element from a Movable Type-generated RSS 1.0 feed (Phil Ringnalda):
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"
xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"
xmlns:rss091="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/rss091#">
Here's evhead's one:
<rdf:RDF
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"
xmlns:sy="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/syndication/"
xmlns:admin="http://webns.net/mvcb/"
xmlns:l="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/link/"
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/">
Oddly enough, it validates as RSS. Isn't the namespace mandatory in RSS 1.0? Mark?
