XML errors

Hi,

After getting fed up with Moin's RSS problems (previous email), I traced 
the problem as such:

use wget or whatever to get these pages:
http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/moinmoin/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc
http://moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de/RecentChanges?action=rss_rc

Now use Mozilla Thunderbird, attempt to subscribe to those two pages in 
the RSS accounts.  I also tried saving those URLs as python.xml and 
moin.xml (respectively), and subscribe to those files.

What happened: python.xml works fine, moin.xml does not.

I edited moin.xml, and on the 3rd line it reads:

<rdf:RDF xmlns:None="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/" 
xmlns:wiki="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/wiki/" 
xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#" 
xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" 
xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"><!--

Note the very start:   "xmlns:None=".  This is different in python.xml. 
  I changed this to "xmlns=" and finally thunderbird can subscribe to 
moin.xml !!

So, what is going on here?  How do Python.org and 
moinmoin.wikiwikiweb.de differ?  What versions of python and moin do 
they run?  Has python.org hacked their version of moin so it works?

I tried figuring out how to fix this, but I'm not very experienced in 
python so I didn't have much luck.  I believe the problem lies in
/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/MoinMoin/wikixml/util.py lines 24,27,57
Thats on my debian-testing installation.

I thought it might work with python 2.4, but I doubt it since moinmoin's 
website doesn't work correctly!


Hope someone can help, this is really irritating me as it screws up both 
thunderbird and feedreader.

thanks
Paul
