I personally would like to see a good feed-reading Epiphany extension that used XSLT to transform the feed formats into XHTML+CSS -- the little play/pause/downloading HTML control you've got could go on the bottom of the sidebar for podcasts. If you wanted to be *really* slick you could use XSLT to transform a set of supported formats into one common feed format (e.g. Atom -> RSS2), then publish the resulting "My Big Pile-o-news" feed via Avahi :-). (Having everything get transformed into one common format would also allow you to have XSLT themes for your transformations when you went from the unified format into XHTML+CSS.) Just some thoughts :-). -- Peace, James Cape http://ignore-your.tv/ http://blog.ignore-your.tv/ "The greatest kick is the sense of being in the vortex of social change." -- Harvey Wesserman
