rss.php in 4.0.3, missing opening "channel" element?
Sorry if I’m wrong, I’ve not reported bugs before. I posted about it here, in a follow-up to Feed Weirdness.

Actually, the validator says that it is the mandatory description element that is missing. In RSS 0.92, it was optional and so it’s never been in the Txp feeds. However, the feed validator doesn’t truly support any RSS version except RSS 2.0, despite its claims, as RSS 2.0’s spec are the rules it validates all RSS against.

Sorry guys, I guess false report. The two feeds I was troubleshooting both seem to be working now in Sage. They were…

http://colloquialtongue.com/?rss=1§ion=articles
I see what you mean, mary. I misinterpreted Feed Validator’s message: <code>Missing channel element: description</code>. I saw “missing channel element” and thought, OK, it’s missing a “channel” element.
For the record, I was following Kurt’s Troubleshooting Feed Issues post before reporting anything.
Again, sorry. All seems to be well.

Actually, the description element is present, if the “Site Tagline” field in the prefs is set.
