RSS Modules in Radio

Based on a feature request by Mark Pilgrim, I designed my first RSS module today, called blogChannel. It was fun. Scripting News already supports it. [Scripting News]

Interesting module. Looks fine with me! It would be cool if Userland would add some code to Radio to make it easy to implement RSS modules. Something like a table for each module with namespace and defaultPrefix fields, 2 scripts for serializing extra elements for the channel and for an item and 2 scripts as callbacks. The callbacks are called by the aggregator whenever a channel or an item contains elements from the module.
