Does anyone happen to have a show/list function that outputs an RSS/Atom feed?
I couldn't find any in the archives so far. Just hoping somebody
already has a code snippet lying around.
I don’t have an answer, but if you find or write one, please test it with the
W3C Feed Validator:

In a past life I wrote a news-reader client, and the number of invalid RSS
feeds we found in the wild was astounding. It made my job a lot more painful to
have to deal with tag soup, screwy date formats, broken metacharacter escaping,
etc. etc.
If you feel like trying your hand at building/extending another
news-reader client, Dale Harvey's Settee would be a good place to start:
