Thanks very much. I rearranged things and got it to validate, using
the validator from scripting.com.

However, it still fails validation at
http://feeds.archive.org/validator/

The problem is "bad characters". I'm not sure how to start to debug
that. What is the first thing I should look for?

I wrote the 0.91 script (a PHP script) first because I assumed it
would be easy. I figured once I worked out the troubles at 0.91, I
could move up and do scripts for 1.0 and 2.0. The fact that I'm having
trouble even at the 0.91 level makes me happy that I didn't jump
straight to the 1.0 or 2.0 level.
