… thats what you get for not using proper XML.

I’ve been planning for a long time to switch to a blogging tool which has proper XML handling. That will at least make sure it’s not my fault when planet breaks again. ;-) - a few times I’ve broken planet before, however, it was actually a bug in the planet software.

If I’d do a planet rewrite, I wouldn’t bother to make a tolerant feed parser, but I’d just skip any blog posts that aren’t valid. Then people will hopefully switch to software that actually uses XML writers and not print()…

(Yes, this post was also written to make planet realize I’ve fixed my feed ;-)
