My atom feed

I'm confused by the results I'm getting if I try to validate my Atom feed with feedvalidator.org.

In a comment left today David McMurray pointed out that my Atom feed, using the MT Template I published for use by anyone wanting to, wasn't validating. I'd been quite careful putting it together so I checked it out. Sure enough, there's 2 error messages.

The first error states 'Your feed appears to be encoded as "iso-8859-1", but your server is reporting "US-ASCII"'. However, I don't get this error on either of my RSS feeds, both of which make the same statement regarding encoding, both of which come from the same server and the RSS 0.91 feed has the same file extension.

The second error states 'Invalid HTML: malformed start tag' and seems to imply that each entry in the feed is missing a <content> tag. Yet, there they are at the start of the content from each entry:

<content type="text/html" mode="escaped" xml:lang="en" xml:base="[entry url]">

Anyone got any clues?
