Note to self: If something bugs you in Radio Userland, it is usually very easy to fix. The shortcuts weren't expanded in the RSS feed, so I posted a message on de discussion board. Steve Hooker was a great help, and in the meantime I learnt to fix something else that had even annoyed me more the last few years: activeURLs and autoParagraphs. It turns out that it is enough to add this to #prefs.txt:

#activeURLs false
#autoParagraphs false

Yesterday Dave Winer added support for Echo to Radio Userland's aggregator. Today I did the same, but at the other end. My Radio Userland now emits an Echo feed. The RSS feed is now created by transforming the Echo feed, using this XSLT transformation.
