FIXED! - RSS Validator Updated: atom:link Warning / no doc

Post by JAB Creations »

http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi? ... m/news.xml
Missing atom:link with rel="self"
Any chance someone could help me out with this oh so well documented warning? Half of the RSS Validator's authors don't even have their own RSS feed, one fails to validate, another has one but it's code is trashy and doesn't align to the version I was able to get to validate without warnings to begin with, and the spec to to speak might as well be written in Greek because it makes no mention of where the syntax should be placed.

I found out the issue was the that I was missing xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom".

Here is my current validating RSS 2.0 feed for those having trouble getting theirs to validate...

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
