    [greg-dev] Gregarius + SimplePie

    Now that SimplePie[1] is nearing release, I've taken a shot at switching 
    Gregarius to it from MagpieRSS.  Among other things, SimplePie supports Atom 
    1.0 and xml:base, two areas where Magpie is sorely lacking.
    
    The port has gone remarkably smoothly and works well for my purposes---168 
    feeds, including Tim Bray's, Phil Ringnalda's and Jacques Distler's---modulo a 
    few minor bugs and one big missing feature: SP doesn't yet do conditional GET 
    (but will before release).  Although Magpie isn't doing any parsing, I haven't 
    entirely excised it from the project, mainly due to the patches added by 
    Gregarius which I'm either not comfortable changing or haven't gotten around 
    to fixing yet.
    
    The caveats above aside, would anyone on the list be interested in evaluating 
    this personal fork with regard to its possible future acceptance?
