Lots of time format can be passed as a value (RSS/Atom time strings, timestamp, anything supported by dateutil.parser). Implemented in twitter feedify hook.
Useful for twitter (later) for it's "clip" toggle, which keeps the original desc/content above the article. Makes changing the content, while keeping the original stub in place, easier.
TPB feed is a good example <http://rss.thepiratebay.sx/blog>. Now supports ampersand in feed, using the "recover" mode in etree.parse. Broken utf-8 strings in feed are now also supported.
This is a huge change. Feed parsing is now done in a separate file, much cleaner. The code of the lib tends to repeat itself a lot though. It should be possible to improve it. Code should be more stable.
