Hi Sunil,

> I'd be interested to know why the feed from the
Independent newspaper is 'faulty' according to the
accessible feedreader.

Probably because like many, they have buried their heads in
the .net sand and ignored progress - if "progress" is the
right word.

RSS Reader


Sunil,
I have experienced a similar problem with other feeds and
that was one reason why I was looking for an alternative -
until the Net Framework 1.1 issue arose. 

I have just looked at

http://www.webbie.org.uk/accessiblerss/index.htm

and read the following -
"You are likely to find that some feeds don't work.  This
may be because the feed is not valid.  You can check the
feeds validity at The Feed Validator Service (link)." 
I don't know quite how to interpret that.  

I suggest that you report any feeds that don't work with
Accessible RSS but do work on other aggregators.  Feedback
is welcomed but I have to admit that reports of bugs and
suggestions for improvement seem to  wait some time before
they are taken into account.
