Re: Status of RSS support

I figured that it was an academic venture; I don't doubt that there's a large amount of malformed data out there; RSS 1.0 is a good bit more complicated than 2.0, but there are a lot of sources out there, and they all throw different errors :/

Does it make sense to have a certain amount of lenience when parsing? I know I'd find it more useful if it could parse data already available.

I wrote it and I've only been using it for very specific "academic" purposes. It is however a good proof that essentially no one writes correct RSS, since when I stumble upon problems it is almost always in the RSS data and not the implementation.
