I'm new enough to RSS that I'm not even sure if this is a stupid question.
I see that RSS aggregators tend to expect a link, and will put one there even if I don't explicitly say that I want one. In fact, I'd have thought that with this code, I'm explicitly saying I don't want a link:
<item>
<title>title</title>
<guid isPermaLink="false">unique identifier</guid>
<link/>
<description>description</description>
<pubDate>date</pubDate>
</item>
And yet, iGoogle and MyYahoo! both still put links on the title, while Safari continues to add Read More at the end of the description.
Anything I can do that will tell all aggregators not to insert links?
