Hey Greg,
Thanks for the suggestions. If we need to expand the functionality to a

RSS is simply XML. Troy has told us the engine has Xml processing power (I
don't know how it would handle the use of CDATA sections common in RSS).
Every front end I am aware of has access to XML libraries already outside of
