It's actually a bit more, I just checked against the Relax NG schema of Atom v11 from RFC 4287.

Neither nor / are allowed inside <name>, and the '\n' isn't either. This is what we get:

============================================================================= <author><name>andrea@dottout.com</name></author>\n<icon>/git-favicon.png</icon> =============================================================================

This would be valid:

=============================================================================
<author>
  <name>and&#x72;ea<!-- @ -->&#64;&#x64;ottout&#46;com</name>
</author>
<icon>/git-favicon.png</icon>
=============================================================================

Petr, is the e-mail crippling a repo.or.cz-only thing?
