Problem with uuid in RSS output

Hey guys - love your service, but I'm having a strange problem. Some RSS readers/parsers get confused by the "guid ispermalink" link in your outputs. For example:

<guid isPermaLink="false">urn:uuid:51a4a442-66e2-8629-e723-3f1d88ea8945</guid>

So I can't use your service because the clickable hyperlink ends up opening up a bad link (the uuid as above). When I reach out to them, they tell me the problem is with the RSS feed format, and that should be fixed.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thank you!

Sorry, it seems that 'guid' tag cannot be a reason here, as it contains no mistake in the given example. The standard documentation states that the value can be whatever you may want since its attribute is set to 'false' (quotation: guid must be a full URL, unless isPermaLink attribute is false; source: https://validator.w3.org/feed/docs/error/InvalidPermalink.html)
