James Stewart (http://pear.php.net/user/jystewart) has commented on the proposal for XML::RSSBuilder2. Comment: I have been working on a feed parser implementation which I had hoped to submit soon. I have been trying to decide whether or not to extend it to support building feeds. I'd be interested to see if merging these two packages would make sense. Could you supply a link to a php source file? I'd like to have a look at your code but don't want to have to install a package to do so. Atom 1.0 is very close to completion. Without seeing your code I don't know if it will be easy to add support for the new spec, but it would be a shame if it weren't. On a pedantic note, I know there are various explanations of what RSS stands for but "Reach Site Summary" isn't, afaik, a common one. For promoting this package you'd be better off using "Really Simple Syndication" Beyond that, however, the use of the name RSSBuilder for a package that will produce Atom and OPML is misleading. How's about something more generic such as XML_FeedBuilder?
