Feed requirements

  1. RSS versions: 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0
  2. The feed must contain <rss>, <channel>, and <item>.
  3. Values must be transmitted in individual tags (for example, image URL, description, price, ...).
  4. CDATA sections, for example <description><![CDATA[Lorem Ipsum]]><description> are supported.
  5. Custom data/tags may be used. In this case, you should define the corresponding namespace.
