I was trying to subscribe to an RSS feed from
<http://developer.r-project.org/RSSfeeds.html> but IE chokes on DTDs and
Firefox also has trouble with this feed. (I'm not sure if it has trouble
with DTDs in general.) 

I went to one of our web developers to see what I should use to read the
feed, and he pointed out that the mix of RSS 2.00 and rss-0.91 looks
like a mistake:

<!-- name="generator" content="blosxom/2.0" -->
<!DOCTYPE rss PUBLIC "-//Netscape Communications//DTD RSS 2.00//EN"
"http://www.rssboard.org/rss-0.91.dtd">

and that DTDs are a little bit unusual in RSS feeds (but said it is not
impossible). I'm a complete novice in this, just pointing it out in case
it is a bug.
