Yes. Implementations of RSS readers are almost all hopelessly broken and
non-conformant, and the RSS "spec" -- such as it is -- has been so kicked
about and bastardised as to be virtually worthless except as a carrier
format like HTML. There were plans to make a newer, better version, but
like HTML it has now become so fossilised that it's not worth changing.
