XHTML as syndication

Freakin' yay: Shelley links to and summarizes an idea that I've been mentioning for quite a while. In fact there are a bunch of scrapers out there to convert structured HTML into RSS, but the popular kids have been so stuck on the evil that is RSS that nobody's put it into a syndicator yet. First person to do so defines the standard that I'll follow, but since CSS tags are cumulative I'll probably follow however many standards seem reasonable. There are days when I wonder about making Flutterby something that appeals to the masses, seeing something that's been a good idea for years finally take off makes this one of them.
