Huh. Well, now I have egg on my face. It's a little
puzzling, actually: the FeedValidator said that it didn't
recognize some of the characters in the feed. Those turned
out to be characters that commenters to my site copied from
my feed (curly quotes, for instance) that didn't play nicely
with the validator. Now, those shouldn't have messed up
Straw's validation, and they never have before. Then again,
I only recently switched the encoding to UTF-8, so it's
probably some bizarre interaction amongst new changes.

Anyway, now it's all working fine in Straw. Sorry for the
false alarm.
