If third parties aren't unwelcome, after the discussion on the
reallySimpleSyndication list, I made sure my Stapler tool [1] for
Radio could provide a headline-style feed (unfortunately still in
0.92, but that's on my list). 1.1.3 includes a cleaned-up version of
the scraper script I use to make my headline feed [2], including using
the first seventy characters of the item as the title, when one
doesn't use HTML comments as I have been.
