Description
I don't really trust the feed parsing routines of aggregator2 not to fail on some malformed feeds (and it does seem to fail quite often). It also seems like a bit of a waste of time to rewrite all these feed parsing routines. Would it be possible to use SimplePie as an include to handle all the feed fetching and parsing?
#1
Definitely the way to go IMHO. Always avoid re-inventing the wheel, re-use should be our mantra. SimplePie looks like a great RSS package, we should re-use it at Drupal.
