Of late, I've noticed an up-tic in the amount of invalid RSS being pumped into the Web. In many cases, the invalid RSS is being produced by software engineers that should know better. It's not hard to add a simple SOAP call to your regression tests. Or simply visit the W3C Feed Validator Service during your testing cycle.
Who's the culprit of this blog entry. How about reddit and simpy? The simpy feed is simply horrible.
I never thought of it being the developers fault. You are right - they should check their feeds before implementing. It's easy to use a simple SOAP call when your application generates the feed.

James,
Judging by how horrible their RSS feed is, I believe they really could screw that up accidentally ;-)
