arXiv RSS author name problem in Google Reader

I like google reader a lot. But one thing about it makes me very frustrating - it does not display the author name in arXiv RSS feed correctly. Basically, arXiv provides feeds with linked author name, and google reader decides to use the HTML source code instead of parsing it into nicely formatted text.

Well, I just learned that by adding ?version=2.0 to the end of arXiv feed URL solves this problem, i.e.,
http://export.arxiv.org/rss/cond-mat?version=2.0
