Clarification for RSS 2.0 Spec
Just when you thought that the RSS 2.0 spec was a dead document, we get this nice little present late on a Friday: a clarification for encoding HTML in the <description> tag in an item. While it used to be ambiguous, the proposed clarification now states that the <description> tag will always contain entity-encoded HTML.
This one little change will help out a lot. Thanks to the group of people that contributed to this clarification.
(Yes, it was done behind closed doors, renders some number of previously valid feeds "invalid", and opens the door to other changes to a supposedly frozen spec, but I still welcome the change.)
