[PEPr] Comment on XML::XML_Feed_Writer

James Stewart (http://pear.php.net/user/jystewart) has commented on the proposal for XML::XML_Feed_Writer. Comment: I too have reservations about the design of this package and think in its current form it's too limited to warrant inclusion in PEAR. You commented on XML_Feed_Parser that it would work well with this package, but I don't think that's the case. It would be great to be able to be able to hand a DOM element from the parser to the writer for inclusion in another feed. There's a lot of talk about atom as a general data store, and being able to move elements between parser and writer would be very helpful there. Similarly, I don't see how/whether you provide any mappings between elements that serve a similar purpose but go by different names in different feed types. It would be good to be able to feed in one set of data and then output in multiple formats (eg. when caching feeds to disk). How are you handling namespaces and extensions? Please don't issue print statements and definitely don't use die() within your package.
