I know that Microsoft IE (Internet Exploder) can display XML (eXtensible
Markup Language) files so I'm checking out the RSS (Rich Site Summary of the
Boston Diaries) [1] file using it and I get:

In light of the recent events surrounding MSN [3] blocking non-conforming
browsers I find this very funny. Very. I guess US-ASCII is simply too hard
for them to support.
