That pretty much what I am suggesting - let Zend_Feed work away, then grab the DOM, then append your thumbnail elements using the DOM *NS methods. If it's just the one element you're adding, it would only take a few lines of code.

I want to add a media:thumbnail to every entry of the rss feed. The closest I've come to is make changes in the Zend_Feed and associated classes themselves to add a new thumbnail field and am trying to add namespace to it now to make this a media:thumbnail, though i would prefer not to make changes to the framework itself. are there other parts in ZFR i can look for ideas? or other things i could try?
