What I was more wondering about was that his initial post on
planetplanet is actually three posts from his actual weblog, and none of
them from today. When I looked at the planetplanet code I didn't see
where it contained the knowledge to deduce that entries were showing up
in planetplanet for the first time vs. subsequent articles, which makes
me suspect that this is a bug of sorts. Well, this coupled with knowing
that other feeds (mine-s9y, niel-advogato) do seem to have publishing
dates in them. Course I am not a python guy (yet) either so I could be
reading the code wrong.

I don't know that your feed is busted (fwiw it does validate on its own
merits), but when you generate your rss feed, are you specifying a date
for the article? Have a look at
http://search.cpan.org/~kellan/XML-RSS-1.05/lib/RSS.pm and the RSS 2.0
example, which contains both a pubDate and a lastBuildDate in it.
