+Plugin to support importing updates from external RSS and Atom feeds into your timeline.
+
+Uses PubSubHubbub for push feed updates; currently non-PuSH feeds cannot be subscribed.
+
+Todo:
+* set feed icon avatar for actual profiles as well as for preview
+* use channel image and/or favicon for avatar?
+* garbage-collect subscriptions that are no longer being used
+* administrative way to kill feeds?
+* functional l10n
+* clean up subscription form look and workflow
+* use ajax for test/preview in subscription form
+* rssCloud support? (Does anything use it that doesn't support PuSH as well?)
+* possibly a polling daemon to support non-PuSH feeds?
+* likely problems with multiple feeds from the same site, such as category feeds on a blog
+ (currently each feed would publish a separate notice on a separate profile, but pointing to the same post URI.)
+ (could use the local URI I guess, but that's so icky!)
+* problems with Atom feeds that list <link rel="alternate" href="..."/> but don't have the type
+ (such as http://atomgen.appspot.com/feed/5 demo feed); currently it's not recognized and we end up with the feed's master URI
+* make it easier to see what you're subscribed to and unsub from things
+* saner treatment of fullname/nickname?
+* make use of tags/categories from feeds
+* update feed profile data when it changes
+* XML_Feed_Parser has major problems with category and link tags; consider replacing?
