Description

The dates in the RSS newsfeed have three letter timezone abbreviations. RFC822 only allows US timezones and GMT to be expressed like that, all others must be in the form +0100.

Example, entries made during BST (British Summer Time) at:

http://feedvalidator.org will warn of these problems, and they show up as "Invalid Date" in the Feedview plugin for Firefox.
