[uf-discuss] simple rss question

Thanks for the example, there are a few issues that i can see.

#1, you have a class="title" for "The Best of Foo Foo", title inside a
vcard means "job-title" so that would be pulled incorrectly. Next, you
have "singleauth" both the hCite and hAtom use 'author' so you might
consider using that (not sure what your overall goal is?)

#2 The whole Headlines section looks alot to me like hAtom, feeds. You
might consider working that in too (maybe in a later release).

#3 you have a class="url" on the RSS, it would probably be wise to add
one to the BIO as well.

On the whole it looks good. When it gets further along please email us
with a public link.

Thanks,
-brian
