According to feedvalidator.org/a, it seems
that pretty much everything except some of the &s in urls and
the <p> tags are acceptable. This pleases me, as the hack
of including html when I should not was somewhat distressing. The
sample is fairly representative, with some html entities, and some
of the formatting tags I commonly use. So it seems I should look
for something to replace my use of <p>, but I doubt I actually
will./p
