You could also try the mobile xhtml version which should be more compliant. E.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_news/top_stories/691/69184/story6918490 .shtml? For those who are interested there are also RSS 2.0 feeds which points to these versions: http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_news/top_stories/rss20xhtml.xml There is a feed for each directory on the mobile xhtml site all following the same URL format. E.g. http://news.bbc.co.uk/mobile/bbc_news/england/nwyl/north/cumbria/rss20xh tml.xml The site itself is at http://www.bbc.co.uk/mobile/index.shtml Cheers, - Chris - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
