Well, if it's only the one feed, I guess this is not too urgent a bug,
but I don't think the feed is technically wrong.  As I said before, XML
allows xmlns attributes anywhere in the document, so nnrss should be
fixed to handle it.  But we need to have test cases both of the
"outlier" case and "typical" cases to get it right.
