There are a number of people already working in the direction you propose, and we'd love to have you join in.

Core aggregator is totally separate from the node system, so I don't understand where you are coming from.

Because he was talking about publishing/syndication, not aggregation.

i.e. today we have RSS2 output hardcoded. Having a more flexible layer would allow for different formats for syndication -- from Atom to JSON to arbitrary XML data formats.

This is likely going to be tackled most easiest with a Drupal7 + Views + PHP5 XML support combo.
