Comment:

 What cramps our style here is the RSS widget.  With MagpieRSS as our feed
 backend, the RSS widget can't parse Atom feeds.  If we remove the RSS
 widget, people who use it aren't going to be happy.

 If we can get past that hurdle, I'd be open to creating a quick-and-dirty
 parser for the dashboard feeds and taking general feed parsing support out
 of core.

 Using a JavaScript-powered third party web service for feeds just sounds
 like a bad idea to me.  And the status quo stinks.  If we're going to
 support general feed parsing, we should be able to parse the formats we
 produce.
