Simon builds an RSS aggregator

Wow, it's really a day of RSS aggregator news, isn't it? Simon's building an RSS aggregator and discovers that...

It has been quickly becomng apparent that "Really Simple Syndication" is anything but! There are currently three major (and goodness knows how many minor) specifications doing the rounds, and the majority of feeds seem to pick and chose between the three at will.

Read the post to see lots of great examples why all this stuff is a huge pain in the butt.

He also references REX: XML Shallow Parsing with Regular Expressions, which I've never heard of before.
