> It works so well that I thought it was the official feed.

Reading this just made my day!

Doubtful... I don't think I ever managed to snag "edavis" as a nick on IRC. Sorry!

Ha, it's all good. FWIW, the validator is now giving me a "recommendation" on the feed that I haven't seen before.

I wouldn't have checked the validator without your comment so in the end it all worked out!

1) If you add `?link=comments` to any URL, that'll set the `` element to point to the Hacker News item.

2) Good catch. I'll take a look.

Good catch. It seems to be coming out valid now but maybe there was something invalid in the feed earlier. I'll keep an eye on it and see if it pops up again.

Thanks for the report!

Yeah, /frontpage was mostly added for completeness but you can toss filters like `?points=50` or `?q=javascript` onto it which might be helpful.
