When I add the AI USA feed with either the status bar button or with "New Live
Bookmark" from the Bookmark Manager, the feed fails to be downloaded.  The Live
Bookmark folder is listed as "Empty."  The XML file contains news items, though.

Refreshing the Live Bookmark does nothing.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit http://www.amnestyusa.org/ .
2. Click on RSS button in status bar.
3. Add feed.
4. Check feed.

Actual Results:  
The folder is listed as "Empty."

Expected Results:  
Displayed the feed's articles.

The file is there:
view-source:http://www.amnestyusa.org/rss/en/news/recent.xml

Confirmed being empty.

I have tested the rdf file using w3c validator and it succeeded.

Any ideas?

no, but i'll set to 
->NEW
based on the validation.
Vlad will probably see right away what the problem is.

Not if I beat him to it ;). Evangelism: they've mucked up their
channel/items/Seq: rather than having an rdf:li for each item, they have
misplaced and meaningless rss:item for each, so we can't connect the channel to
the individual items.
