perlmonks RDF/RSS update?

I think it would be good if the RDF/RSS part of perlmonks would be updated, at least there is a problem with the liferea feed reader and the RDF format of the site.

The 0.9 DTD says

<!ELEMENT rdf:RDF (channel | image? | item+
| textinput?)*>

but the feed provides the following:

<rdf:RDF>
   <RDF>
      <channel>
         ...
      </channel>
      <item>
          ....
      </item>
      ...
   </RDF>
</rdf:RDF>

You're quite right. As noted, I belive, everwhere that links to it, it's mildly broken. I'd love to fix it, but unfornatly it seems to be a sepperate CGI, not a node at all, so I have no access to the code. Sorry. It should be easy to preprocess the input into something your parser would like. If the extract above is accurate, then `s\|</?RDF>\|\|g` ought to do it.

Huh. And I thought it'd be enough to recast that as a XML file that brings in NN with XInclude or something (I'm a raw beginner when it comes to XLink stuff) and then apply client-side XSLT to create the RSS feed. I mean, why do all that server-side when XML provides enough tools for client-side to do it?	[reply]
