Twitter status RSS broken?

I just noticed that my Twitter timeline RSS is not being displayed in my tumblog, so I went back to Yahoo! Pipes to sniff around. It appears that the Twitter feed is not coming up valid (or Pipes could not parse it).

(Update: The Twitter feed is valid, according to the W3C, but the Feedburner one is not. Oookay, so Pipes accepts an invalid feed, but not a valid one?)

As a workaround, I plugged in the feed through Feedburner and fed the Feedburner RSS back to my Pipe, et voila! my tumblog is back to normal.

In related tumblog news, popular social bookmarking site, del.icio.us, has been rebranded as, plainly, delicious.com. The old URI still works -- I like it better than the boring new one (love the new layout though, much cleaner and faster), which lacks the, er, whimsy-ness of the old domain -- but just to be sure, I upgraded the link to the new feed.
