Wonder also if it wasn't a problem with the URL (wondered if he used a
relative path ? would be an obvious mistake but who knows as he didn't
mention he didn't want to give the full url). Also he didn't detailed what
he saw in the browser (for example if he uses a style sheet to format the
feed it could also display the feed correctly if the stylesheet were done
assuming the same format error or a browser could be somewhat resilient to a
feed error to be liberal with what is accepted (for example some tools are
stuffing a player link for mp3 items etc...) plus in some cases one accepts
html inside items while another one won't want this etc...
So IMO the very first step would be to make 100% sure the feed is valid to
go further down in the binary tree of possible errors....
