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.

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.
