Research direction

Start by reproducing the feed import from https://www.phoronix.com/rss.php in app version 0.15.1 and trace the Feed Sync path that reports the invalid XML error. Compare the feed response with the parser's expectations and verify that this URL can be imported without the reported parsing failure.
