Would appreciate any help...

can’t check at feedvalidator.org (connection timeout), but from looking I guess it chokes on the atom part in your feed if validated against a DTD. from the XML point of view, all in the RSS 2.0 namespace (maybe a good idea to add it?) seems to be correct.

I tried a few variations but no success. Got any other ideas ?
Or a particular setting for DTD to try..

there is no "official" DTD, that will validate your feed, due to the namespace issue (namespace are not "supported" by DTD in general), maybe an XSD (XML Schema) might help (it supports namespaces). or just remove the line with the Atom code.
