I've installed Microsoft Windows Internet Explorer 7 Beta 2 on my computer and I was hoping to enjoy the RSS feeds feature of the website.
However, I'm getting an error message that RSS feeds with DTDs are not support by the new browser. Are you planning to upgrade the site so that RSS feeds can be read using IE7?

Maybe the problem will be solved when the first RC (Release Candidate) or the final release is completed
a quote from Microsoft development regarding another website:
Topic : RSS Feed issue with IE7
Message : I’m a Program Manager for RSS on the Internet Explorer team. I’m contacting you because we have received a report that your website’s RSS feed is not compatible with Internet Explorer 7, and we’d like your cooperation in resolving this issue.
The feed in question is: http://www.jordanplanet.net/rss20.xml
On investigating, we discovered that your feed contains a reference to a DTD (Document Type Definition) used to help XML parsers with validation of the document. However, DTD validation is a potential source of a security issues for XML parsers, and they are not required for RSS feeds, so Internet Explorer’s parser rejects all feeds that contain references to DTDs.
The DTD reference is not necessary for your feed to work in either Internet Explorer or any other aggregator. To enable users to subscribe to your feed in Internet Explorer 7, simply remove the reference to the DTD.
Please feel free to contact me about this.
It would appear that this will be a permanent security issue in IE7 and will remain as is.
