[Bioperl-l] RSS feed weirdness from the wiki

[Mauricio Herrera Cuadra]

Seems to me like the problem is the new line character at the start of 
the XML files. The <?xml ...> tag must be in the first line, not at the 
second. Are these files auto-generated from some template which may 
contain the error?
