Description
Hey, I needed this for a flash tag cloud I was working on, so I thought I would give it back. If you're interested, this gives you a second view and that is the XML output of the weighted tags. Also refactored the code to get the tags from a function called "tagadelic_views_get_tags()" so I could get the tags in my style plugin as well.
Hope this helps someone else :)

Thanks for the contribution!
But I don't understand why this is a plugin. Would anyone every use the Tagadelic RSS plugin without also having Tagadelic View? Would it not be better to use the (a) RSS: Feed Selector argument and (b) add an RSS icon to the bottom of the Tagadelic View?

This was not intended for an RSS feed. It creates well-formed XML objects out of the Tagadelic info. For example, we are using it to allow a Flash swf file to read in multiple views that we create so that we can have a flash based Tagadelic cloud. Flash needs to be able to read in the XML in order to get the terms and weights. So this just creates the feed for the Flash swf object.

Sorry for taking so long to get back to this. If you'd be willing to re-roll it for the current CVS HEAD, I'd like to apply the patch.

No it's not. (I think that) The patch needs to be re-rolled to the latest version (based on my comment above) before I can apply it. If you'd like to do that, I'll review it an (hopefully) apply it.
