Accepting new namespaced elements

[Phil Wilson]

Hi,

I have patched my version of Venus to work as a basic client for
NewsGator and want to maintain the ng:xxx elements that appear in the
Venus cache (and are available in the template etc.).

I have modified /venus/planet/reconstitute.py to do this - is this the
correct way of adding more namespace support
(http://intertwingly.net/code/venus/docs/venus.svg suggests yes) or
should I be using a filter/plugin?

As a side note, and possibly off-topic, does anyone know if
feedparser.py is actively maintained? I appreciate that triage is
time-consuming but some of the issues on
http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/list are close to two years
old. Some even have patches. I have had to customise my local install
to work around http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=74
(there is a patch for this issue in Python <2.5 in
http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=40 and
http://code.google.com/p/feedparser/issues/detail?id=68) but I am on
Python 2.5.

Cheers,

Phil Wilson
