It's nice to see all this expertise coming to bear on this issue. But we need
to be worried about the validity of the RSS feed, not actual web pages, right?

Bea,
It isn't; I get a consistent 11 errors for each single-event web page (using
FireBug to validate HTML).
Additionally, each event page is styled with TABLEs, rather than floating DIVs,
so we can't use a handheld.css style sheet to load the URL into a WebView and
have only the event information display (using display:none; for the outer
columns).

Hi,
I suspect (but haven't verified it) that the BostonEventList data might
possibly not be well-formed.
I ran the site through the W3 validator http://validator.w3.org/ some
time ago (and again now), and it comes up with a number of errors.
Having a site be valid XHTML is a critical prerquisite to getting on
top of Google's list.
If this is the case (first, need to verify that well-formedness is
really the problem) there are tidy-up utilities available, but we'd
have to see whether they are suitable for Android.
Thanks,
Bea

Hello,
I think Bea referenced the IBM website regarding RSS parser
alternatives. I downloaded the application from the website, and
massaged the files. I was able to get the application to successfully
create an apk and load successfully into the Android Emulator. The
application is partially working, but I could use some help debugging
it. The application doesn't parse the BostonEventsList. For some
reason, it stops before displaying a ListView.
I delivered the work I have finished to the SVN Repository in a Android
project called MessageList.
I will continue to work on it as time permits. I've only just begun to
fight.
