[backstage] Invalid XML in iPlayer feeds
The iPlayer feeds seem to be broken today. They currently have a blank line before the XML declaration, making them invalid. E.g. (Firefox will also complain if you load it up) http://feeds.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/popular/tv/list Has anyone else noticed? I can't be the only person who is using a real, strict XML parser to consume them! Paul. - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
