One nice thing about the iTunes service is that all feeds associated
with it are valid RSS 2.0 documents (Apple even employs people to do QC
on feeds before they are listed [1]).  So Stanford and Apple are playing
nice when it comes to their feeds.

Yes, as of a few weeks ago someone was working on this very issue (it's
actually a certificate validation failure.)  Haven't heard from him in
awhile, I'll try to get a hold of him and see where he's at with this.
