No, it's not something we'd pass as valid. In the purest 'technical sense' it can be made to work. But in the context of an RSS feed relative URLs do not work, regardless of any base declarations. There are *one or two* readers that make it work but most will not.
Here on Syndic8 we try to focus on maintaining not only compliance with specs but also on universal readability by the widest range of software and users. Thus we strive for that 'little bit extra' the specs call for, things like MIME types, encodings, languages and metadata. These help make sure the feed will be as useful to as wide an audience as is possible. -Bill Kearney Syndic8.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "badass101uk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > No problem, I'm on the case. > However, people are telling me that the xml:base directive at the top > of the XML stops this issue (like base href in html) and this is in > the feed.
