Well, the whole concept of rss syndication is precisely that *you* control how it displays. Syndicating XHTML would expose your site to display ugly crap
I agree with you in some respects. But, its a tradeoff. In order to keep “ugly crap” from displaying, you have this jamboree of standards, validations and confusion of code which is not helping the task at hand. It is still very difficult to have a good online syndication of sites.
In excess of that, non-coders are still limited by the “ugly crap” of the syndication software and by the format that the syndication software decides to put out. So this would give the syndication software lesser control of the layout for the content and would let the owner of the feed determine their own “ugly crap”.

Good point. The new.gif image has been fixed. If there is something else amiss, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks
Are you willing to share the source of “what you have so far” ?
I’m looking for a simple solution to show the last 3 thumbnails in the side of my main blog and this would be just that!
