I'm trying to use the feed validation service at http:// 
validator.w3.org/feed/, but I'm encountering a few problems–

* Pasting the contents of the feed into the form and hitting submit  
gives me an error page. I've tried several feeds and always get an  
error. (FWIW, I'm using Safari 2.0.4)

* The soap interface seems to likewise be broken. I tried accessing  
it with the ruby library [1], but it appears to be returning python  
stack traces of errors.


Other feedback:

* http://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/ references "Atom 1.1". AFAIK,  
there is no such thing. There's Atom 1.0 (aka Atom Syndication) and  
there's draft 11 of the Atom Publishing Protocol, but those are  
different things.
