Live Bookmarks doesn't seem to work with Instapundit's RSS feed. It just gives
me a "Live Bookmark feed failed to load." message. It worked with that RSS
extension I was using before FF 1.0.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add Instapundit RSS as a Live Bookmark
2. Access it
3. 

Actual Results:  
The only output is "Live Bookmark feed failed to load."

Expected Results:  
Shown the RSS output.

Using Qute theme.

Workaround: use http://instapundit.com/index.rdf where we expect to find a
dc:date as a fallback for an empty title.

The problem is that bug 260308 gave us a fallback for feeds with empty titles,
but it only expects dc:date in RSS 1.0 feeds, and in RSS 2.0 it expects either
pubDate or updated, but not the dc:date that the first two or three years of
Movable Type templates used, even in RSS 2.0 (google "funky RSS" for background).

sorry for bugspam, long-overdue mass reassign of ancient QA contact bugs, filter on "beltznerLovesGoats" to get rid of this mass change

it's WFM but i suppose the website has updated their feed, so i'd say incomplete actually
