[cl-who-devel] New release 0.8.0 (Was: html empty tags)

[Cyrus Harmon]

It's a rather simple XML usage, but I'm using cl-who for generating  
the RSS for nuclblog.

It was a bit of a challenge figuring out how to get tag downcasing  
for all the HTML stuff, and preserving for the XML stuff, but it  
works now.
