[uf-discuss] RSS/Atom to XHTML in Flock's Feed View

[Chris Messina]

So we've silently released the precursor to what will become Flock 0.6
on the hourly build page:

http://tinderbox.flock.com/builds

If you download a build (trash your profile if you're already a Flock
user -- ask me how if you're not sure how) and visit a page with a
feed, click the RSS icon in the urlbar and you'll see what I'm trying
to fix up. Basically we convert the feed to XHTML and I have no idea
who did the current theme, but let's just say that there's no sign of
microformats...

Since this has the potential to really set the baseline for
feeds-to-XHTML in browsers, I'd like to get this fixed before the
louder 0.6/0.7 releases.

Anyway, let me know if you have questions! Thanks,

Chris
