title and href attribs reversed and mangled

As I’ve been validating my feed tonight I keep getting EOF Invalid HTML errors. Looking closer, I see that I have anchors in my feed that look like this:

(a href=”someURI”title=”someTITLE”)text(/a)

Note that there is no space between the href and title attributes. Upon checking my actual content, I found that I had actually written it this way:

(a title=”someTITLE” href=”someURI”)text(/a)

So, apparently, something somewhere is rewriting my anchors dynamically.

A) I would like it to stop. But I can’t even identify what’s causing it much less stop it.

B) Even if I can’t get it to stop how can I force it to leave a space after the closing quote-mark in the href so that my attributes are all seperated by spaces?

This is frustrating.
