Straining XML. A triple entendre for me today. The Flutterby RSS doc that I'm using to generate a small section of headlines in the mini-portal is straining its DTD spec by putting a link in the <description> sub-element. The link contained within the description is a redundant piece of information since there's already a <link> sub-element. In turn, that link is straining the bounds of the table I use to display the information since URLs are interpreted as a single word and won't wrap in several browsers including Mozilla and Netscape 6. And now I'll either have to remove the Flutterby! box (which would be a shame) or filter (strain) Dan's RSS result for words any longer than, say, 20 characters...
