Hey, partitially good news: my local RssBandit beat build 109 does not fail anymore on Sam's test feed, if it is compiled with .NET 1.0: http://intertwingly.net/stories/2004/01/12/broken.rss. It display the Not so smart quotes post with content Postels law. But IE and also the validator still fails and complain about:
The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://intertwingly.net/stories/2004/01/12/broke... <description>Postel SorryThis feed does not validate.line 15, column 25: XML Parsing error: <unknown>:15:25: not well-formed (invalid token) [help] <description>Postel’s law</description> ^

Looks like, we "simply gathering the data" now...
But note: if I compile against .NET 1.1, it fails parsing on invalid character in the given enconding. So .NET 1.0 uses a more lazy XML implementation?
Should we switch back to just "gather the data"?
