If I read this correctly, the validator says that the
"feed is valid, but may cause problems for some users."
So, PmWiki's feed is technically correct.
The two items listed are
"An item should not include both pubDate and dc:date."
Okay, but which one should we use? Some aggregators
look primarily for dc:date, others work only with pubDate.
PmWiki does what many RSS developers recommend, which
is to provide both. As the validator notes, having both
isn't invalid, it's just that some feel there should be
only one date in the feed (and this bias is reflected in
the validator you chose).
Still, it's easy enough to disable locally -- simply set
$FeedFmt['rss']['item']['dc:date'] = '';
Or disable pubDate if that's your particular pleasure.
"item should contain a guid element."
Fair enough, we can add <guid> to the feed defautl.
I guess a reasonable guid would be the url of the page,
i.e., $PageUrl? If so, then it can be added with
$FeedFmt['rss']['item']['guid'] = '$PageUrl';
