The following also needs to be updated:

http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/planet/reconstitute.py

The design of Venus is feed to cache (which involves a normalization)
and cache to template.  Some templating engines operate directly off
of the cache representation, but htmltmpl needs to have this data
mapped for it.  You have a handle on the second half of the problem.

As a debug aid, there is a main program which can help you directly
see what the output of reconstitute looks like:

python tests/reconstitute.py http://example.com/feed/
