Tom,
Just in case you have not caught the bug....
I only convert ' in the iSyndicate XML
to '. I did not attempt convert other character
entities. Hence, the data stored in WDDX format
is not what we *really* want. I am going to patch
the code now. ;)

It is very specific to iSyndicate's XML. I wanted to
write something that does not rely on MSXMLDOM (possible
memory leak issues which the sys.admin. here would harass
me over if it does happen ;) ).
Anyway, attached is the set of modules that do what I
said they are suppose to do. ;) Look into modules/makeWDDX.cfm
for the iSyndicate XML -> WDDX conversion. makeWDDX.cfm relies
on parseTag_newsfeed.cfm and parseTag_channel.cfm (probably
the naming of the submodules could be better ;)).
Any questions or comments are welcome. :)

Hi James
I'd be interested to see how you're doing step 2 (the XML -> WDDX part).
Could you post your code to the list?
