Could you think about RSS::Parser.parse as well, because it is also
returning a mysterious nil.

I am parsing the RSS feed from 'http://dwlt.net/tapestry/getfuzzy.rdf'
when it returns nil, and I have no idea why, do you?

Btw, at least some people think it is a valid feed:

  http://feedvalidator.org/check?url=http://dwlt.net/tapestry/getfuzzy.rdf

Thanks,
Sam
