There are no more detailed stats yet on the page. Here is a quick
breakdown.
The NULL parse_error represents a working feed.

mysql> select parse_error, count(*) from polldetail where 
mysql> summaryid=21 group by parse_error order by parse_error;

+------------------------------------------------------------+----------
+
| parse_error                                                | count(*)
|
+------------------------------------------------------------+----------
+
| NULL                                                       |     2513
|
| junk after document element                                |        2
|
| mismatched tag                                             |       46
|
| no element found                                           |       14
|
| not well-formed                                            |      148
|
| syntax error                                               |       61
|
| undefined entity                                           |        6
|
| xml processing instruction not at start of external entity |        2
|
+------------------------------------------------------------+----------
+

The site retains the XML from each poll to each feed, as well as the
line number of the error. So here is a broken feed with a full
indication
of the problem:

http://www.syndic8.com/feedinfo.php?FeedID=884&Section=xml&SummaryID=21

This solves what has been a very tough issue with syndicated headlines. 
Things change quickly enough that it can be hard to track down something

that is broken for a few hours or so.

This is great info.

Wow, a 10% error rate... not good. I have a feeling that almost all
of them are entity encoding errors in links, etc.; is there any way
to break down the errors further?

Cheers,
