But having observed quite a number of people tripping over double escaping rules in various flavors of RSS, I very much like having a very conservative default of TEXT. And then for those who wish to get more adventurous, there are two choices: XHTML (compact, clear, but must be well formed), and double escaped HTML (verbose, error prone, but can handle arbitrary content).
But type='TEXT' is only a degenerate case of type='XHTML' (type='XHTML' with only text content). What value does type='TEXT' add to the format except the ability of feedvalidator.org to detect cases where there are element children although the author claims there are not, which suggests an authoring error? Does type='TEXT' intentionally exist only to add this feedvalidator.org value?
