A recent Damage Control announcement thanked Chad
for rss/maker. Can someone point me to an example
use? Or explain the problem it addresses?

Thanks

Is this the rss/maker in the std lib? I though it was by "kou". If thats
the one, it exists because the underlying API is hard to use, because it
reflects RSS structurally, rather than 'intention' of structure. This is good, it
is powerful, but hard to use.

Example of using rss/maker is:

Oh, I didn't see that one! I didn't write rss/maker. I did an old
RSS lib for Ruby, but it's bee n a long time.
