Ah, I see what you mean now. The return from the service call actually
writes out "callback(json)" into the source, so just writing out the
script tag is enough to make the call and handle the callback.

Unfortunately I can't do it that way because I want much more control
over my RSS feeds. I need to be able to retrieve the data on demand,
refresh, cancel, etc.

Also, the JSON format is different than with the _IG_FetchFeedAsJSON
call, unfortunately. I would need to change a bunch of my code to
process the results differently, just to get the author field. It
would be so much easier if _IG_FetchFeedAsJSON would just add the
author field!

I may switch over to this services method sometime later, but I think
for now I will keep using _IG_FetchFeedAsJSON and just live without
the author field. Bummer.
