Summary: pubDate fluttering in RSS2.0 feeds

Initial Comment:
I've noticed a good deal of strangeness in the behavior
of some syndicators that are pulling from my site. 
I've tracked the behavior down to the pubDate field.

In this report, I am talking about the main RSS 2.0
feed, not the one that lists comments; that is, the
feed you could find at
http://changelog.complete.org/feeds/index.rss2.

Serendipity is taking the pubDate field to mean "date
of last comment post" rather than "date of post of
article itself."  This is not really correct.

In fact, I verified this behavior.  I saved off a copy
of the feed, posted a copy, and saved off another copy.
 The diff is attached.

Now, as for why this is happening... I don't know.  The
article publishing date on the website for the blog
itself remains correct all the time.  Only the feed
seems to be impacted.

Just in case, I tried reverting my earlier patch for
the regex patch, and go to a more supported URL scheme,
but that made no difference.
