Certainly not nobody. My feeds are strictly always well-formed. 
They're produced by using XSLT to transform hand-authored XHTML, and 
if the XHTML is malformed that day, no feed document is produced, and 
I get an e-mail pinging me with the error. If well-formedness is 
demanded, tools will support it.
