Hi, whilst adapting News Sniffer[1] to the new Have Your Say RSS feed format, I found some mangled timestamps with the time exceeding 24:00:00.
For example, in the recent "Pinochet death" thread[2] feed[3] there is an item with a dc:date field of "2006-12-11T24:40:03+0000". The pubDate field translates this to "Mon, 11 Dec 2006 00:40:03 +0000". Even if the poster (Alex Golzari) lives on Mars he'd have trouble posting a comment with this time stamp. This leaves only Mercury and Venus. Either than or a bug in the HYS software. Assuming a bug, I've written a workaround for News Sniffer but you might want to look into this. I can't find a time format standard that allows times exceeding 24:00:00.
