It does make me feel like my decision to "parse" RSS feeds using ~5 lines of Perl regex, which seemed dumb at the time, is maybe still sorta-dumb, but at least not worse than using a default XML parsing library. All I really need out of an RSS feed is to find the author, URL, date, and body, which I was just too lazy to do "properly", so used some regexes as a quick hack. But seeing what stuff "proper" XML parsers have buried in them, I think I might stick with the Perl script...
