I am using Ruby Feedparser and keep running into situations when a feed
is
valid but feedparser throws an exception - REXML::ParseException:
Declarations can only occur in the doctype declaration.
The following feed does validate at feedvalidator.org (with a warning,
but
does validate):
<![CDATA[Engadget is a web magazine with obsessive daily coverage of everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics]]>
However, when I run feedparser I get this error:
<REXML::ParseException: Declarations can only occur in the doctype
declaration.
