  * version:  => SVN trunk


Comment:

 I tried this out on my blog atom feeds, such as:

 http://survex.com/~olly/blog/xapian/index.atom

 The patch is definitely along the right lines, but I spotted some issues:

  * The "author" field includes the feed uri (from the {{{<uri>}}} tag
 inside {{{<author>}}}) which doesn't seem useful.

  * The handling of {{{<category>}}} tags seems wrong - the code tries to
 pull out any
  content, but it looks like the category is in a term attribute, e.g.
 {{{<category term="foo" />}}}

  * It seems to ignore {{{<content>}}} which I think probably should be
 treated as body text.

  * It looks like {{{type=html}}} on various tags needs special handling.

  * Also, it doesn't pick up any of the subtitle text in my blog, because
 our HTML parser doesn't handle CDATA, and just throws away the <...> it
 sees (this is a bug in our HTML parser really, rather than a bug in this
 patch):

 {{{
 #!xml
 <subtitle type="html"><![CDATA[
 A blog lacking a good description.
 ]]></subtitle>
 }}}

 It'd be good to update the documentation to reflect this newly supported
 type too.
