Geeklog doesn't care about the extension - it simply tries to read the file with an XML parser.
However, it expects to find "title" and "link" items in a feed, but the above feed doesn't have any. Not sure what this is being used for, but it's not a normal news feed.
I guess it would be possible to write a PHP block that does whatever's supposed to be done with this feed, though.
bye, Dirk

// Close the XML filef
fclose($fp);
// Free up memory used by the XML parser
xml_parser_free($xml_parser);
