I'm glad to hear the indentation is changing, but the multiple newlines  
in the outputted XML is more what I was talking about:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
   <rss version="2.0">
     <channel>
       <title>talbott.ws</title>
       <link>http://homeplace/</link>
       <description>The Talbott family's blog.</description>
... 11 newlines ...

...5 newlines...

It doesn't affect the function of the feed at all, but I guess I'm just  
a bit picky about the form of things. Is there already a way to clean  
this up? If not, can you add one?

Thanks,
