is there a particular reason you really want the permalink for this post not to change?

because, to add on to gRegor's "overkill" comment, discovering and fighting the inconsistencies is a losing battle and makes me sad. 😂

as a developer, i find validators good for really basic stuff like "i have not produced unparseable garbage" and then i test in Monocle's preview, and then i stop worrying abou tit.

And as others are saying, validating the feed we use as a weak proxy for whether the feed is "okay."

I love the user-centricity of the question and the lack of *certainty* about how the feed readers behave is a function of the space. Often in software producing data exports of various sorts we *can't* know precisely how the data will be used. Which is why we try to be as descriptive as possible about what the data contains, what kind of values it contains, what data it can and can't contain. What are date formats? How do we know a date is

Like, what do I know how things break or not without 1) installing as many feed readers as possible and 2) publishing a private RSS for testing them all out?

[Al_Abut] unfortunately, you are unlikely to find any certainty in the world of feed readers outside of the ones you test by hand. for what it's worth i think if you can think of a feature that is complicated in any way, feed readers will not do that. 😂

isPermalink is a signal to consumers and clients of RSS. Probably software authors.
