This is why its my opinion not to go that deep into the system. Skip DRI altogether an write a document() include in the theme that retrieved the feed. Author a few xslt templates into the base xslt of the theme to handle formating.

Thats the beauty of being Open Source, support the basic formats Atom, RSS 2.0 RSS 1.0 with default assumptions and accept fixes from there on. -Mark On Mar 19, 2008, at 3:46 PM, Conal Tuohy wrote: > IMHO news-sourced-from-RSS would best be implemented on the server > side, > as an Aspect.
