The feed: http://status.tucows.com/xml/dotcom,-dotnet.xml Is definitely compatible with Firefox, validates, and renders as designed. The problem with that feed is the content not the format. The link for the only item points to the XML of the feed, rather than a web page with some content on, so when you click in the item in firefox , firefox correctly jumps to the page it is told it should. Me thinks the programmer got the "link" data from the wrong object for the item. Hey I sympathise I was writing feed handling code last week, when I got to the Atom stuff I just dropped in the error "Feed format not implemented yet", and hope to find a Perl module that does what I need before anyone notices. Although RSS 2.0 really is simple syndication, unlike Atom feeds which are rather less than simple.
