Summary: RSS: Can't make children of RSS::Rss

Initial Comment:
I have a class, BlendedFeed, that is a child of RSS::Rss. This worked fine in 1.8, but now in 1.9 it breaks #to_s:

ArgumentError: negative argument
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rss/rss.rb:630:in `*'
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rss/rss.rb:630:in `calc_indent'
    /usr/local/lib/ruby/1.9/rss/0.9.rb:54:in `to_s'
    ../test/ts_feedblender.rb:47:in `test_to_s'

Looks like the culprit is this line in Element.inherited:

@indent_size = name.split(/::/).size - 2

which basically assumes you'll never inherit from RSS::Rss, or that if you do you'll jump through hoops to have your class name fool this line. Can this be fixed?
