3 RSS feed problems/quirks

    1. Perhaps I missed smth, but in the past I had RSS feed set to contain full text of the post and used <!–more–> tag to truncate the text (I don’t like the automatic summary). Recently, the tag is ignored and RSS contains really full text of my post.
    Can we have the previous behavior back, pretty please? (For now I switched to ‘summary’ option).

    2. RSS also contains <media:content> elements even when the post is truncated/summarized and does not references those elements.

    3. If you look at RSS feed for http://romusz.net/2007/11/17/hokies-vs-miami/ post you’ll see:
    <enclosure url=”http://www.clockwatching.net/~looksharp/HokieNationTrailer.mov” length=”16442873″ type=”video/quicktime” />
    The problem is that I removed this video from the post, yet it’s still persists in RSS. It’s annoying since several RSS readers display this reference anyway.

    Any info / fixes appreciated.

    1) this was an improvement by most people’s standards and had often been requested. Just set your feed to “summary” instead of “full text” if you want it to show a snippet.
