A nice thought, but pointless. Failing tests do not matter to the PHP release managers, they ship it anyway. http://redd.it/qeq7k#c3z0vva

That site does not work for me. I paste into the input field and it automatically turns into %F0%9F%90%88. Compare with https://codepoints.net/ instead. Edit: great, HN is broken too.

RSS never was an open standard like you would expect from a real standards organisation, e.g. IETF or W3C. Because of dominance posturing and fights between the multiple parties involved in the development of RSS, it is a train wreck of ad-
