Actually Mozilla would let you do this using XLinks rather than HTML 
links. In fact, you could make your html:a element an XLink too so it 
works in both IE6 and Mozilla. Something like:

<item xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink";>
   <title>...</title>
   <description>...</description>
   <link>http://...</link>
   <html:a href="http://..."; xlink:href="http://...";>...</html:a>
   <dc:date>2002-07-09T10:19:17-01:00</dc:date>
</item>

Of  course you could also use XSLT in both Mozilla and IE.
