I found another problem with the rss plugin, although I don't know if its a design thing or a bug.
The BOLTFrss function cannot handle html in the description tags. If html is present in the description, the XML reader parses the paragraf (and all other) tags as xml, which means that the description- tag data will be empty. The solution would be to find a way to return the actual text between the description start and end tag and return this. I would solve this (and I think I will) by using the xml dom model to read the rss feed rather than raw xml parser fuctions, and then calling nodeValue on the description nodes.
