Talk:Feed Handling

I'd like to see a more robust feed API in Firefox. You guys already have a very competent system for subscribing and managing feeds. However, there is no real API to build "feed applications" on top of.

It would be awesome if Firefox internally handled the file store for downloading and parsing feeds, then exposing them through a clean, simple, and uniform API. We can then focus efforts on managing stuff like whether a feed has been updated since last viewed in one core place, instead of pushing complex code up to the view (extension) level.
