The current version of Akregator appears to have issues processing Atom
feeds:

* missing date or date set to the Epoch
* missing titles

For example, I have copied the Atom example from RFC 4287 at the
following URL:

https://heap.urdhr.fr/rfc.atom

Akregator currently displays the date of this post as 1970-01-01 01:00
even if the entry has the following metadata:

       <updated>2005-07-31T12:29:29Z</updated>
       <published>2003-12-13T08:29:29-04:00</published>

The behavior appears to be quite erratic. By making minor changes to the
atom file (eg. the id), sometimes the date is fixed, sometimes the title
is fixed.

This does not happen for all Atom Feeds. For example the Planet Debian
does not exhibit this problem.
