Perhaps, instead, someone should just create a javascript that can actually 
parse an RSS file? Remove the aggregator, and place the processing on the 
client (browser) end... I know someone wrote a js to do Minimal XML in 50 
lines - decent enough to throw into a .js file and include in a page. One 
entirely focused on RSS would be smaller, I'm sure.

Thoughts?
