Good enough for now - I wrote a few days ago about the possibility of creating an RSS render pipeline. I've had some time to review the codebase and though long term it definitely looks like the way to go, it's more non-trivial than I initially thought. It will require a re-write of the core rendering engine. As it turns out I've already written the v1 of this re-write. I did it a few months back, but got blocked by one thing or several, and wasn't able to get it fully working.

I'm going to keep the current RSS components for now. I've made some modifications that should enable full text feeds, and should be enough to get things working for the interleaved everything re-design. Longer term though, I hope I'll get a chance to get the re-write operational. It would open up many new possibilities for code reuse and packaging.

Sometimes you have to take some steps backwards. But you got to keep moving forwards. Things don't always go smoothly or in a straight line. That's how the world is a lot of the time. #
