Listing 2
Listing 1 shows the correct format of an RSS 2.0 feed. Listing 2 is incorrect since tag <item> is there after tag <channel> which is not the right place for <item> tag. Argotic Syndication Framework throws an exception for the Listing 2 and doesn't parse it further.This is one of the problems which I have observed along with the following:
1. Tag <language> missing or most of the time it has value "en-us" no matter what is the language used in the feed.These are a few problems which I have seen with the web feeds, although I am talking about only RSS 2.0 here, similar problems can be imagined with ATOM/BLOGML and other syndication formats.
2. Tag <pubDate> is missing or having some wrong value.
3. Mismatch between the actual format of the feed and the format declared in <rss version="??"> tag.
4. Description is missing.
5. Feed Title is missing.
6. Item Title is missing ...most stupid and irritating.
7. Incomplete/Relative url in <link> tag
