invalid RSS and Atom [mouseover]

[rapido]

I have probles getting my RSS / Atom feeds included in Blog indexes due to invalid syntax.

After investigating, I found that s9y is not producing valid feeds, checking with Feed Validator, All versions of RSS/Atom are invalid:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url= ... Findex.rss

Then I checked also Garvin's blog, which prooved to be invalid too, with the same error:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url= ... Findex.rss

So I assume that this is a general error and not just my installation. I don't think these mouseover tags are really helpful in the RSS / Atom feeds.

Could anyone point me how to tweak this problem?

What you get from the feedvalidator is not an error message, but a notice. So the feed itself is okay - NOWHERE in the Spec does it say that mouseover attributes are not allowed, and most readers properly validate and show that. It is very helpful for exit-tracking when URLs are rewritten.

Your Feed only shows up as bad because of the special Anführungszeichen used in one of your entries.

You can only get rid of the onmouseover Tags by removing the Exit Tracking plugin, but then of course you also loose the exit tracking functionality. You could also write up a plugin that kills all onmouse* attributes, or edit the exittracking plugin to not use onmouse*attributes.

But again, this should not be required since the complaints from feedvalidator are based on no RFC (See the bottom, there it says "valid RSS feed"
