ANN: xpath2rss 0.7




http://www.mnot.net/xpath2rss/

The changes that may be interesting to a wider audience are:

* xpath2rss now looks for a <link> tag in the HTML that's typed 'application/rss+xml'. If it's there, it'll direct the user to use the value of the href attribute as the authoritative channel. Eventually, It should automagically redirecting to the authoritative channel.

This way, the page author can notify scrapers (and others) about the existence of a channel.

* xpath2rss now uses RSS.py <http://www.mnot.net/python/RSS.py> for RSS channel generation. I hope to use this library in a number of future projects, so any feedback is appreciated.

Cheers,
