Bad data? As in incorrect data? Where? You may not like it, but language metadata is not actually *required* in the RSS specification. I agree, that's a shortcoming in the spec. But it does mean that even without that information, a default Wordpress feed is well-formed, valid, and does not contain any *incorrect* data. There are a lot of HTML pages that don't include language metadata either. Should they be kept out of search engines and directories? More to the point, should search engines refuse to index pages generated by, say, Dreamweaver because, in the default configuration, they lack language metadata? Because that's the type of action you seem to be suggesting. -- Kelson Vibber www.hyperborea.org ------------------------ Yahoo!
