Dave,
If you just want to get iSyndicate XML going for your site,
I have just completed a set of modules to take care
translating a given set of iSyndicate XML feeds to WDDX
with a data structure that looks like:
Root (struct)
-> newsfeed[] (array of structs)
-> channel[] (array of structs)
-> cid (string) (e.g. cnbc.40_market.hl)
-> date (string) (e.g. 07/10/2001)
-> time (string) (e.g. 08:01 PST)
-> title (string) (e.g. CNBC.com: Market Stories)
-> headline[] (array of structs)
-> date (string) (e.g. Tue, July 10, 2001 08:01 AM)
-> time (string) (e.g. 08:01 PST)
-> title (string) (e.g. Debate rages on IT spending and productivity)
-> href (string) (a URI)
(I am working on TekBay specific WDDX->HTML portion now. :))
Obviously, this isn't a general solution like soXML or xmlquery.
This only works for iSyndicate. :)
I batch process TekBay's iSyndicate XML feed with a 3 stage process:
1) Get XML via CFHTTP
2) Convert XML to WDDX (no datatype conversion here)
3) Convert WDDX to HTML
I can provide code for 1) & 2) and skeleton code that traverses
the deserialized WDDX structure for 3). Let me know if you are
interested.

Subject: [cf-xml] SOXML and iSyndicate
Using SOXML (great tag) on iSyndicate feeds, I don't know how to handle this
setup. Perhaps someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong.
Thanks,
Dave
