I definitely like the feeds as objects idea.  A base feed class WPFeed with vars to hold all
available information that could be subtyped for different feed flavours, WPAtom, WPRSS each with
their own methods of using that data would be nice.  It would also be nicely future proof when the
next latest and greatest feed format comes along as it would only require a new class with its own
'print' method.

If converting to XML was a trivial task already implemented, that might be cool too.

Is there mileage in this?

Jamie.
