I looked into it, and saw the behavior that was reported. "></outline>

But if you have some knowledge about how this is supposed to work, have a look at &lt;a href=&quot;http://venitism.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default&quot;&gt;this feed&lt;/a&gt;, and look at an &amp;lt;entry&gt;. See how it has a lot of link elements? Which one is supposed to point to the article? Is that part of some standard? Are other sites doing it this way, or just blogspot.com?"></outline>

If that weren't present, I'd accept a link element. I'm looking for the same thing from this Atom feed.
