Hi,

If I understand correctly, I have a similar need in creating XML pages based on
content for "regular" HTML pages.  Here's one idead - how about creating
something like:

smpl.se/
smpl.se/things
  - archive
  - [posts]
smpl.se/thoughts
  - archive
  - [posts]
smpl.se/rss
  - thoughts_rss
  - things_rss
  - rss

In this way, when you can recurse using r:find you'll know if you are in the RSS
or HTML section of the tree.  In your rss files, you can pull in settings from
pages (title, url, page parts, etc.).  When you update the HTML pages, the RSS
feeds will be automatically updated.  

More info on recursion- if I'm reading the source for the find tag correctly,
the url attribute is used in a find_by method.  So, in this attribute, a
regular expression that includes some things and not others will not be
available for use.

I'm fairly new too, so maybe/hopefully other people have ideas.
