That's exactly right - leverage the tools out there, build on them, but don't
require them. If, say, there are 100 LEGO-related RSS feeds available, and 25 of
them are LENNI-enhanced, off-the-shelf aggregators should completely bypass the
LENNI-specific elements.
But the key is a widespread user base to grow into. We want to add
functionality, not force a completely new set of requirements on anyone.
