the trouble with standards is that there are so many of them. atom vs rss, 
blah blah blah ;)

personally, i don't see the win here. put up an atom/rss feed and throw up a 
GHNS service for a proper downloading service. instead of trying to cram 
$XML_SCHEMA into GHNS or vice versa, why not just use the tools for what they 
are intended for and keep them simple and straightforward?

this will help make the code easier to maintain and the usage of GHNS more 
straightforward IMO.
