AW: RSS link fields

Hi!

>The RSS in the former case doesn't have a <link>...</link> pair.  In the
>latter case, there is a <link>...</link> pair.

A known discussion between RSS programmers, wether link should allways point
to something or wether it's optional and wether link should contain a link
to the article itself or to some other article (if optionally given). PyDS
put's the link you enter into the LINK field and the article link as a
permalink into the GUID field. Aggregators that work correctly should really
honor the permalink and give the user a choice wether to go to the LINK url
or the GUID url on clicking.

You can set an option in the preferences that will fill the LINK field with
the GUID value if you don't give a manual LINK - this way you at least have
one link in the feed. If you participate in some group aggregators you
sometime need this, as there are some out there that require LINK (Artima is
one of them).
