Sigh! What it means is that the Denver Post is offering what it characterizes as RSS feeds at at least 3 different URLs and in at least two different formats. The first one, the one I was questioning is at:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/dp-news-national

The xml feed which can be accessed from the link on the page I was using, and the one you found:

feed://feeds.feedburner.com/dp-news-national?format=xml

and finally one that you will be sent to if you click on the blue "RSS" link in your browsers address box and follow your nose the xml format of the RSS feed

feed://feeds.denverpost.com/dp-news-national?format=xml

which is pointing, I think, to the same page as the previous one.

I guess I will have to wait until the new verion of DefaultProfile is available to work on it any further. This is a rather interesting one to work on because it has no printer friendly version available and to be useful, at all it will be necessary to code a preprocess_regexps that will strip out the nasty bits leaving only the story. Looks like fun. But.....

As for izvestia I think it will be necessary to teach DefaultProfile to work with Russian syntax and the Cyrillic alphabet. I could open a ticket, but is suspect it would a warm day in Siberia before it would happen.

Thanks again for all of the assistance. BTW just as an example of Russian syntax (in English) try this one on for size!

<div class="mainrubric">

or another (in russian, in cyrillic)



And I speak every language except Greek! But that is greek to me!
