Subject: semi-[ANN] Ruby::RSS 0.95

I have not packaged it up. I probably won't package it up until 1.0;
but there is a new usable Ruby/RSS library available at SourceForge
<http://ruby-rss.sourceforge.net> . This is lightly tested and,
despite the version number, still somewhat alpha software. (The full
test suite isn't going to be added until 0.99 because validation
needs to be in place, and there are some 300 RSS files that I will
be testing.)

This is version 0.95.

Tasks before 1.0:

* RSS-module support (0.96)
* RSS 1.0 (RDF:rss) (0.97)
* Validation (0.98)
* Full unit tests (0.99)

Target versions for certain items may change. This implementation
aims to be complete and supports RSS 0.91, 0.92, and 2.0. RDF-based
RSS is not yet supported, but as you can see above, it is planned.

I can use help on this, as I have a certain amount of
internationalization present, and have a few other tasks I want to
accomplish (I'd like to use a SAX-like protocol instead of REXML's
default DOM-like protocol so that other libraries can be used
without too much pain -- I hope) as well.
