Developing version of RSS Parser can validate RSS 2.0 and
Atom. The version of RSS Parser is here:
  http://www.cozmixng.org/repos/rss/trunk

I don't put those changes into Ruby's repository yet because
Atom support is still unstable and not complete. API of the
developing version may be changed. But parsing API will not
be changed.

  require 'rss'

  begin
    RSS::Parser.parse(File.read("/.../test.atom"), true, false)
    puts "OK"
  rescue RSS::Error
    puts "#{$!.class}: #{$!.message}"
  end


Thanks,
