RSS isn't XML (for most of the non-RDF versions - read their spec!).
There is no XML-valid RSS 2.0 as there's no way to define validity for
it. Practical RSS is also very frequently not well-formed RSS -
references to HTML entities being the usual culprits.
If you try to load RSS through an XML parser, then unless you're just
dealing with RSS 1.0 and Atom feeds, then you'll regularly find parsing
errors. A practical real-world RSS aggregator has to cope with this,
without failing.
