Is this assuming that there can't be text only feeds, and that everything
should be pumped through a text-to-html filter before being placed into the
feed? What if I have something, not a blog, that generates text-only

interested in text-only content ... why must these two systems make a
side-trip to en-htmlize and de-htmlize the content?
