Google has a press releases here:

http://googlepress.blogspot.com/atom.xml

so I viewed the page source on one, and saw this in the top part:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.blogger.com/styles/atom.css";
type="text/css"?>
<feed xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom' xmlns:openSearch='http://

<link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/
atom+xml' href='http://googlepress.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/>
<link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://
www.blogger.com/feeds/11170755/posts/default'/>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://
googlepress.blogspot.com/'/>
<link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/>
<link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml'

I asked by programmer to look at this and translate it for me, and he
came back with:

<link rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#feed' type='application/
atom+xml' href='http://googlepress.blogspot.com/feeds/posts/default'/>

Appears to be a non-standard proprietary Google thing.  Feedvalidator
creates a warning message saying it's an "unknown namespace".  I think
it means that the ATOM feed at the URL identified in href attribute
uses the namespace identified in the rel attribute.

<link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://
www.blogger.com/feeds/11170755/posts/default'/>

Identifies the feed's URL within the feed.  However, this one is in
error -- it should refer to http://googlepress.blogspot.com/atom.xml,
not http://www.blogger.com/feeds/11170755/posts/default.

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://
googlepress.blogspot.com/'/>

Identifies an alternate version of the ATOM feed -- in this case, the
HTML version.

<link rel='hub' href='http://pubsubhubbub.appspot.com/'/>

Identifies the PuSH hub.

<link rel='next' type='application/atom+xml'

Identifies the next document in a suggested sequence of reading.

OK so are these really errors where Google PR is not properly
formatting things, or is my programmer off in interpreting this feed?
