Hi,

I've been meaning to mention that blorg produces invalid XML for atom 
feeds (perhaps also RSS/HTML).  Most obviously it doesn't appear to 
entity escape characters the following characters properly '<', '>', 
'&', which should be rendered as &gt; &lt; and &amp; respectively.

Also I think <img> tags aren't closed properly, i.e. they're rendered as

<img src="foo.jpg">

rather than the correct:

<img src="foo.jpg"/>

Another issue I have, is that sometimes when calling blorg-publish it 
doesn't render links properly, i.e. [[http://foo.com/][foo]] will be 
displayed in the HTML/XML rather than:

<a href="http://foo.com">foo</a>

This doesn't always happen, but seems to occur when either:

- you run blorg-publish without a C-u prefix argument.
- or, you have an orglink which runs across a line break, e.g.

[[http://foo.com/]| <--- newline
[foo]]

Also, it'd be great if there was a way to easily embed flash video 
content onto the pages, by using custom links, e.g.

[[youtube:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fu8rAWciQNs]]

Which would be expanded into the appropriate embeded object:

<object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" 
value="http://www.youtube.com/v/fu8rAWciQNs&rel=1"></param><param 
name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed 
src="http://www.youtube.com/v/fu8rAWciQNs&rel=1" 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" 
height="355"></embed></object>
