intertwingly

Susan A. Kitchens: It’s crafty. Subtle. With a silent “b,” and is way beyond me. B that stands for Busy. Right here in River City.

It really bothers me when the Feed Validator can’t provide helpful advice.

Per Dave’s A Busy Developer’s Guide to RSS 2.0, should the Feed Validator flag with a warning all RSS 2.0 items that contain a content:encoded element?

The style of message that would be produced would be comparable to this one, but with an explanation something like this:

The item contains a content:encoded element.  Be advised that clients will behave unpredictably in the presence of such an element: some will prefer it over the description element, others will ignore it, and the behavior may depend on the order in which such elements appear in the item.

Perhaps with a link to this post on the rss-board list, and/or with a link to a page on the rss-board wiki which explores this issue further.

What (other?) extension elements should be so flagged?
