That’s exactly the problem currently facing Liferea. However, exempting [EMAIL PROTECTED]'html'` content from xml:base processing won’t help. If the items can come from multiple feeds, such as is supported by Liferea, then mixing items from an Atom feed that uses xml:base and other feeds automatically runs into the same issue. In that scenario, either the tag soup from the other feeds must be fixed up so the view can be rendered as XHTML (which supports xml:base in content), or URL fixup needs to be done on the content from the Atom feed so it can be passed to a tag soup renderer.
