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.

Subject: Re: [fw-general] Creating Zend_Feed with custom namespace


are you recommending I create the feed first and then intercept DOM to inject
the namespaces? because how would i add a thumbnail in the entry in the
first place as importArray() does not allow me to extend the syntax of the
feed.
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?
