Because XML::Feed only lets you specify "Atom" or "RSS".  In the latest
svn version of the calendar, I switched to XML::Atom::SimpleFeed like I
should have done originally :)  One irritation, though, is that you
can't set the feed updated time after new().  Unfortunately, I don't
know what time to use for updated until I iterate over the items and add
them to the feed.  (So for now, updated is set to the default.)

Fixed.  The title is the first paragraph, and the content is the full
XHTML body of the POD.  Also, the first author's name is extracted from
an AUTHOR section.  (I could parse out more metadata [e-mail and other
authors], but I'm lazy so I didn't.  Patches welcome.)

Dunno, but I like fulltext and nobody on IRC objected this time.  The
svn version does fulltext; hopefully someone will push that to the site
Real Soon Now.

Agreed, so now it's fixed :)
