Package: libxml-rsslite-perl
Version: 0.11-1
Severity: normal
Running "perl foo.pl" on the program below prints
http://foo.org/
http://foo.org/bar.html
where I hoped it would give the second line only.
The link in the item starts with a newline, and I suspect the munging
within rsslite has decided it's text or something so the feed link
should be added. The way rsslite fixes up fields is a good thing, but
in this case I think the fix should be to strip leading whitespace.
I don't know if leading whitespace is valid rss, I saw it in a feed
