It occurred to me that it would be handy to inject various XML
sources, especially RSS feeds into a TW wherever its wanted. Using a
macro syntax like:

  <<webRender
    [url:<url string>]
    [fields:<field list>]
    [format:<format string>]
  >>

Fields can include an attribute to be extracted, like myfield
[myattrib]. And yes, I know I should be calling them elements, not
fields. Later.

This is still pretty rough, and might not be worth pursuing. You can
import the webRenderPlugin that does this from:

  http://marksbasement.tiddlyspot.com/

The information extraction routine uses the jQuery "get" routines
instead of the TW core routines. Kind of six of one and a half dozen
of the other. Different problems with each approach.

There's also a sample plugin that grabs the feed from a podcast.

However, so far it doesn't work on the remote server (tiddlyspot) --
only when downloaded to a local drive. And I have no idea if it works
in anything besides FF3. And of course it needs TW core 2.5.0 or
better for the jQuery.
