Note that this feed seems to have some encoding problem.
It gets served without an encoding, mentions no encoding in the "<?XML"
header, so it is by default utf-8.
However, at least at the moment it is latin-1:

...
holgerd at cpu132:~/tmp > xmlpp lispdir.xml

Also:
Any idea why thunderbird thinks that on each fetch that all items have been
updated?
