looked into php DOM and yes, thats a good idea but i wanted to avoid handweaving of the feed. also, i actually have a whole bunch of stuff in the namespace not just one(i need mrss and some of my own namespace in the feed) as of now ive added thos fields to the ZFBuilderEntry (like addThumbnail etc.) and in the ZFRss am adding them to the DOM in _mapFeedEntries() by registering the namespace and inserting a node with createElementNS(). only prob being that i get an entry like: <xfoo:test xmlns:xfoo="http://www.example.com/XFoo";>This is the root element!</xfoo:test> whereas i wouldve liked <xfoo:test>This is the root element!</xfoo:test> though i will strip away the xmlns:".." i wish i couldve avoided it as i have registered the namespcae already.
this approach allows me to continue using importArray(), have some child namespace nodes(by adding them in an array) and also make some of my nodes mandatory etc so they can follow the specs.i really wish there was a more elegant way to do this but i tink i'll have to live with this for the time being. any tips on making this better?
