Re: extern.php not w3c compliant

It looks more like a bug in the validator, anything inside CDATA shouldn't be parsed.

EDIT: I just ran it through the validator, it came out fine hmm

Congratulations

The document located at <http://punbb.org/forums/extern.php?action=new&type=RSS&fid=48> was checked and found to be valid -//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 0.91//EN. This means that the resource in question identified itself as "-//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 0.91//EN" and that we successfully performed a formal validation using an SGML or XML Parser (depending on the markup language used).

Re: extern.php not w3c compliant

No, I used the normal validator, which validates XML too.

If I validate it through the feed thing, it 'complains' about the end of the CDATA tag. Which is a bug in the damn thing.
