> RSS by all means should be similar: just like ping, cat, sh,
I must say that reading an RSS feed is as simple as this:
wget "myURL" -O - | python3 -c '
import sys
import xml.etree.ElementTree as et
tree = et.fromstring(sys.stdin.read())
for el in tree.findall("./channel/item"): print(el.find("title").text)'
But the other applications that you mention are not simple applications:
> browsers, email clients, video players, etc. the core features are well defined and an open source project should be the default choice.
