Hmm. I forget how REXML does namespaces, but I would imagine the query
probably needs to be something more or less like:
rssdoc.elements['/atom:feed/atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"alternate"]', { 'atom' =>
"http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; }].attributes['href']
I'm guessing the old REXML behavior which the existing atom.rb code relies upon
was a bug.
(I'm also not subscribed to the rexml list, so please CC me)
