This isn't really a problem for me, rather an observation of strange
behaviour processing some RSS feeds after migrating from CFMX6.1 to CF8.
My old 6.1 code looked like this
<cftry>
<cfset RSSDOM = XMLParse(RSSFeed)>
<cfset setRSSFeedData(feedID, RSSFeed)>
<cfcatch>
<!--- error handler code here --->
</cfcatch>
</cftry>
This was replaced with the following for CF8 to lower the code overheads of
a cftry/cfcatch block.
<cfif IsXML(RSSFeed)>
<cfset setRSSFeedData(feedID, RSSFeed)>
<cfelse>
<!--- old CFMX6.1 error handler code here --->
</cfif>
My problem has been parsing a particular RSS feed from the address
http://www.fontshop.com/fontfeed/archives/category/fontshop-news/feed/.
IsXML says the RSS feed is invalid XML but XMLParse parses it just fine...
Obviously the problem is one of consistency and I guess the only way to
really know if the data is valid XML or not at the moment is to use the
original try/catch solution but I thought I'd raise it as an issue of
interest 'cos it's odd.
