I've applied the patch along with including the latest feed parser, and
everything looks fine on a sampling of Atom 1.0 feeds that I have tried
it with:

  http://planet.intertwingly.net/

Looking back in the archives, it appears that not only was the Feed
Parser backlevel, but it also has had a patch applied from time to time.

It seems to me that:

(1) Test cases need to be captured so that upgrades don't cause a
    regression.

(2) Bug reports need to be fed back to the Feed Parser in the hopes of
    making the upgrade process as new releases are made even easier.
