RSS problems

Does anyone have any clue as to why my rss feed doesn’t validate?

Update: thanks to some helpful comments (see link below), my feed now validates

Try inserting <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> as a first line, otherwise it looks ok to me.

Thanks, Jim. I'll give that a go.

Do add the line Jim suggested, but that may not be enough. This is weird, I don't know offhand why it helps, but remove the title="" from the first line in your Mozilla 1.4 entry. Or make it title=" ". Too, in your "Microsoft quits W3C panel" post, replace the   with regular spaces in the title attribute of the Infoworld link. Those seem to be causing problems.
