  1. comment changed to:
    According to W3C Validator at <a href="http://validator.w3.org/feed/">http://validator.w3.org/feed/</a> the current feed has some minor issues:
    
    <verbatim>
    This feed does not validate.
    
        line 14, column 17: Invalid email address: drh (21 occurrences) [help]
    
                  <author>drh</author>
                             ^
    
    In addition, interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.
    
        line 42, column 123: title should not contain HTML: i (4 occurrences) [help]
    
            ... ; status still Open with 2 other changes</title>
                                                         ^
    
        line 189, column 2: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]
    
              </channel>
              ^
    
    
    </verbatim>
    
    Clearly the one that <em>should</em> be fixed is the "invalid email one". Following <a href="http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/InvalidContact.html">their explanation</a> should not be hard - whenever we get only a user name (without domain), it is sufficient to append "@example.com" to it. This leaves us with a warning about lack of real name, which we can ignore.
    
  2. severity changed to: "Minor"
  3. status changed to: "Open"
  4. title changed to: "RSS feed is not always valid"
  5. type changed to: "Code_Defect"
