The selfoss reader [0] has a nice concept of extending the format of the incoming data feeds, would be also a very nice feature for your code. Even nicer it would be if new incoming data formats could be configured in yaml files without having to recompile.
the selfoss author mentions these kind of data:
* RSS Feeds
* Images from a RSS Feed
* Images from deviantArt Users
* Images from tumblr
* Your twitter timeline
* Tweets of a twitter user
* heise News with full content
* golem News with full content
* MMOSpy News with full content
* RSS Feeds with readability
certainly not the most important sources, but it gives an idea about how diverse data sources are on the net today, so limiting to rss and atom is not a good idea. maybe some people would like to add facebook streams or other "social" sources.
Also please take a look at the extensive testing suite of feedparser [1] - lots of feeds there, that will break any naive assumption about how clean real life data will be.

- drakenot 10y agoI've actually already ported hundreds of test cases from Mark Pilgrim's feedparser.
- code_research 10y agoah, that is great! I think feedparser has the biggest collection of obscure feeds, it is an awesome collection of what to expect in the wild. If you know some more sources of weird feeds produced by "modern web software", please tell me, thanks!
