Description

It seems that our sample Picasa feeds work well but the other ones I try (like NASA and Smithsonian) fail:

Research direction

Reproduce the failure with the Smithsonian photos feed and NASA Image of the Day RSS feed linked in the issue, then compare their behavior with the working sample Picasa feeds. Trace the image-feed handling from the relevant entry point and define done as successfully importing and serving both reported feeds without breaking the existing Picasa cases.
