some warnings set bozo "bit"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. parse for example http://www.groklaw.net/backend/GrokLaw.rdf

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

exception is: documented declared as us-ascii, but parsed as iso-8859-1

however this "error" should be a warning (bozo=2??) as the feed is completely 
parsed and accessible

Please close this bug as invalid.

bozo and bozo_exception are used for developers to debug when something goes 
wrong. Nothing went wrong in this specific case, so the information can be 
ignored.

Is there then no way to detect this case?

@chris: Actually, there is! All of the feedparser-specific errors can be 
detected based on their class:

if isinstance(result.bozo_exception, feedparser.CharacterEncodingOverride):
    # do something here
    pass

Or, if you want to ignore almost all of the feedparser-specific errors, they're 
almost all a subclass of feedparser.ThingsNobodyCaresAboutButMe:

if not isinstance(result.bozo_exception, 
feedparser.ThingsNobodyCaresAboutButMe):
    # this is a bigger deal, like maybe a SAXParserException
    pass

Again, this information is necessary to developers when something goes really 
wrong because the server's HTTP headers don't agree with the XML declaration, 
or because the XML declaration doesn't agree with the feed's byte order marks, 
etc. In this specific case (ASCII vs ISO 8859-1), it's probably no big deal.

I hope that helps!
