Here's an off-the-wall suggestion...

What if we built feeds as PHP objects, fed them through a filter, then 
converted the object to XML?

There are some extant implementations of Object<->XML in PHP, so it 
might not be too difficult a conversion.  Manipulating the feed XML via 
DOM in a plugin would be swell.

Before I continue blathering about this, how much does this idea suck?
