Can you categorize the "type" of support you'd be interested in?  Some
tools will read RSS, preserve and pass on anything read (ie. they
"support" optional or additional info in pass-thru mode).  Some tools
will read RSS and make it easy to access any field (ie. they support
setting or getting optional or additional info, even info defined
outside of the spec or after the library was written).  Some tools
have specific support for extensions or modules, or have a plug-in
system so that specific support can be added.

I don't know of any page categorizing the tools like this, but it
would be good to know how people would want the tools to be
categorized.
