(a) the Ape looks not in URL of the atom entry, but in the public-facing URL (if that's different), usually found in link rel="alt" (or just link with no rel); the slug is for the benefit of the outward-facing version.

Shouldn't that be link[@rel="alternate"]?

Oops. I guess I should have been more specific. I was posting a comment on Dave Johnson's weblog, and even though I (think) I answered the addition question correctly, it rejected my comment twice. I'll fix that in my main post in a sec.

Don't know why ongoing thinks you're a spammer. Sorry.

Anyhow, two things could be causing the slug problem. (a) the Ape looks not in URL of the atom entry, but in the public-facing URL (if that's different), usually found in link rel="alt" (or just link with no rel); the slug is for the benefit of the outward-facing version. (b) JRuby regexes, pre 1.0, are a bit buggy, so the Ape could just be wrong. Test by running under Ruby not JRuby.
