I encountered this same problem with the CNN newsfeed. If I remember
correctly, the error was due to an empty title in one item, i.e.
<title></title>
This is completely valid w.r.t. the RSS 0.9.1 DTD. In fact, that DTD
is *very* loosely constrained, so that you could completely leave off
the <title> element and still be valid (or, you could even insert 20
titles for one item...). There is nothing that can be used by SAX to
throw an exception in this case, even when parsing with validation
turned on.
