Well, as long as the content you're feeding it is pure ascii. For
instance, getting LUGNET posts to be valid RSS was not as easy as I
thought it would be. Making one for 1000stein would be even harder.
Dealing with charsets, embedded images and markup, all require thought.
And since RSS doesn't actually say how to do it right, we're all
guessing, and every aggregator is guessing as well. Not surprising that
everyone doesn't guess the exact same thing, right? :)
