The feed does work with my RSS reader, but may be broken with others. Its also possible that the validator is broken
- I don't really have much of a clue about RSS, but it seems that the namespace declaration
xmlns:wiki="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/wiki/"
is not really valid for the feed validator (at least there's no such URL). Maybe it should rather point to some existing location at moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de (but then should rather be namespace "moin")? I had a brief look at a valid WikiPedia feed using XML Spy and this looks rather different (uses RSS 2.0). So maybe redesign of the RSS output should be put on the long-term to-do list (hopefully also get rid of the strange need to install PyXML just to cope with the xmlns issue?).
PyXML is required because Python built in xml is broken. It will be a good idea to check again the status with 2.4.2, and report the bug to the Python bug system.
Plan
Validate that it is really broken, not a false alarm.
