I noticed a minor irritating problem with the Forbes.com RSS feeds, at least in their interaction with Bloglines. The feeds are RSS 2.0 format and include a <link> element. Bloglines uses the URI in the <link> element as though it were a <base> URI for all other URIs in the feed, so you end up with links like http://www.forbes.com/news/http://www.forbes.com/technology/2005/02/24/cz_dl_ibm.html?partner=rss for IBM's Growth Engine Sputters. Now, the feed doesn't validate, but the feed validator only marks the <author> tag as being in error. Digging around for RSS 2.0 examples, it appears that the <link> element simply defines the link for the channel or an item, but isn't intended to be a base element, so it appears that Bloglines is in error.
