A request for clarification - is "day of week" optional in <pubDate>
(subtitle: Safari nonconforming?)
RSS 2.0 states that pubDate should follow RFC(2)822
as in:
[day ","] date month year hh:mm:ss timezone
I read this as: day of week is optional.
I have a feed that omits day of week in <pubDate>s
FeedValidator.org validates it as conforming.
Safari balks at the same <pubDate>s, ignoring them, and reporting the
date as when the feed was last accessed - typically "today at 10:25pm"
A minor quibble, but on the other hand, smarter minds than I have
pointed out that the day of week is redundant and, when
the day of week is incongruous with the date, as with the man with two
watches, "is never quite sure of the time (date)".
Thanks for any advice.
(btw, bug reports via Safari several months ago have received no reply)
