 >And I still think it ought to be closed as wontfix / left for feed
 readers to work out.

 It's not up to feed readers to correct our bad feeds, it's up to us to
 produce correct ones.

 Besides, we should be compatible with existing readers, particularly
 widely-used ones such as Google Reader.

 If a link in a site's feed doesn't work, when links in other feeds do,
 it's the site that gets seen in a bad light by the viewer. It probably
 wouldn't occur to them that their reader could even fix it for them.
