 Replying to [comment:3 bretterer]:
 > It does not test as valid xml when you run it though
 http://feedvalidator.org/ or any other rss feed validator...

 Yes, because of the HTTP status code:
 {{{
 This feed does not validate.

 Server returned HTTP Error 404: Not Found
 HTTP error with content that looks like a feed
 }}}
 #18505 would fix this.
