it would be nice to tidy this up as you suggest. have a look at the output formats issue: http://drupal.org/node/145551.
This patch sounds like a reasonable way forward. It would have been nice if that patch would start with migrating existing themes (and non-themes like feeds) instead of starting with adding new presentations (actually, it may since I'm not up to date with theme changes in 6.x and didn't study it too long but it appeared to focus only on new JSON output). That approach would probably make it more likely to pick up steam. I'll review it and see where it's at.
you might also take a look at Views style plugins since Views is what generates node lists on most sites these days.
Sure, I realize I can accomplish what I need with views, or some combination of other modules. And when views is a core module and everything uses it that will be a no-brainer but until then I was trying to think of the best approach for making feed presentation more modular. Cheers, Chris
