Missing whitespace?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

The feeds
    http://lambda.jimpryor.net/recentchanges/index.rss
and
    http://lambda.jimpryor.net/recentchanges/index.atom

generated by ikiwiki for my own site, render in newsbeuter with the following
body:

    Changed pages:index[1]
    Changed by:profjim[2]
    Commit type:git
    Date:14:38:58 08/23/10OCaml -> Caml

Note the absence of any whitespace between the end of the date and the summary 
of the
change ("OCaml -> Caml"). There are several line breaks at that spot
in the source. I can't tell whether this is a defect in the feed generation or 
in the rendering. If it's the former, please let me know and I'll pursue with 
ikiwiki.

The parser does not understand "<br/>". I think that the problem is that the 
'/' becomes a part of the tag name in this case.

I have made a quick and dirty fix:
