More TagSoup
This is why I proposed moving from escaped markup to XHTML for RSS. [Don Box's Spoutlet]
If you can get the MSHTML Editor in Internet Explorer to produce well formed XHTML you might be able to convince the community to use XHTML. But that doesn't seem likely.
The pragmatic solution is to use something likeTagSoup to convert the encoded content to well formed Xml. The results aren't perfect but they are well formed.
Back in January Jeroen Frijters used IKVM to compile TagSoup into a .NET assembly. It works but I'd rather have an XmlTagSoupReader that fully embraces the .NET pull model. I've thought about starting such a project licensed under the Academic Free License. Anyone interested?
