Feedburner and the dreaded Error #1085

Error #1085: The element type “link” must be terminated by the matching end-tag “</link>”.

I am trying to parse a Feedburner XML file to play podcasts from this file in a custom-made podcast player. I CANNOT edit the XML file, and what’s more, the <link> tag actually does have a closing </link> tag. The player works absolutely beautifully in Firefox and does not spit out any errors when I test in Flash, but it does not work at all in Chrome or IE. Instead, I get this blasted error.

I have searched up and down the internet for a solution to this and have found nothing that works. No timer events, no editing the xml file (as I indicated before, I don’t have access to it). I think it might have something to do with Feedburner feeds and their namespace tags.

Anyone out there ever find a solution to this? For I am at a loss.
