Evil? Issues? The script used (schycyroll) reads xml/rdf/rss/xhtml and uses set theory to construct a new web page, with a couple of nice twists missing from the python planet. It works fine, as far as it goes. A possible improvement is to add html and atom parsers, but I've not gotten around to that yet.
It seems to regularly end up dumping raw HTML out for savs' blog. I don't know if that's a schycyroll or a Wordpress failure though.
A bit of both. schycyroll uses no html parser yet and Wordpress isn't always producing valid xhtml. It could be fixed on either side.
Firstly sorry, it's Moveable Type, not Wordpress[0].
Secondly it seems to validate just fine for http://www.andrewsavory.com/blog/index.rdf with http://feedvalidator.org/
If I look at the entries that cause problems (the recent one titled "Links", say) it looks like they're correctly bundled up in a CDATA escaping. I fed Andrew's blog to Planet to see what it did and it appears to do the right thing. So it looks like a schycyroll issue. I don't see why it should need to parse HTML to cope with this, but I haven't looked at its code at all.
