When I add this RSS feed, although it appears to have valid tags <pubDate>Mon, 01 Oct 2007 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate>, in my News aggregator feed, the dates all appear as 1 January, 1970 - 00:00

I have the Core Aggregator 5.3 disabled.

Unfortunately this feed is not valid. i'll do further efforts to make it work with parser_common_syndication. Anyway, simplepie library cannot gather date value from this feed and the validator says this is broken, it's not a good thing :)

The bug is fixed. Please use common syndication parsers, than you'll see the real dates.
For SimplePie, i cannot fix the "bug", because it's an external library.
All in all, this is not really a bug, because the feed is not valid, but it's not a bad thing to handle a little bit defected feeds too.

Many thanks for that.

I searched Drupal's modules for a "common syndication parser", but nothing turned up. Can you give an example of one that is suitable?

Are all modules an "external library"?

Common Syndication parser was originally from here: http://drupal.org/project/aggregation , but now this code is maintained under FeedAPI too. SimplePie is the only external library, which FeedAPI can use. Otherwise all of the submodules' code are maintained by FeedAPI developers.
