foo claims to be base64-encoded, but isn't

Explanation

content is expected to be encoded in base64 if the "type" attribute of atom:content is a MIME media type, but is not an XML media type, does not begin with "text/", and does not end with "/xml" or "+xml".

Solution

Encode the content in base64, or reference it indirectly via the src attribute.
