Comment:

 The RSS handling functions were separated from the widget as they are used
 in other places too. Instead of extending the RSS widget, a better option
 would probably be to make your own using the same external functions if
 needed. This would also make your plugin easier to uninstall: the users
 wouldn't have to redo the widget's settings in order to use the default.
