Validate RSS and Atom Documents
Use an online validator to check your RSS and Atom documents.
You can check RSS 0.91, RSS 1.0, RSS 2.0, and Atom documents online using Mark Pilgrim and Sam Ruby’s Feed Validator (http://feedvalidator.org). The project is hosted on SourceForge (http://sourceforge.net/projects/feedvalidator/). This hack will use Feed Validator to check an RSS or Atom document.

http:// is already provided in the text box.)
Click the Validate button. The file is processed and the results are
posted to the browser (Figure 6-5).
