/**
 * Abstract superclass for RSS Feed views, using the
 * ROME package.
 *
 * >NOTE: As of Spring 4.1, this is based on the {@code com.rometools}
 * variant of ROME, version 1.5. Please upgrade your build dependency.
 *
 * 
Application-specific view classes will extend this class.
 * The view will be held in the subclass itself, not in a template.
 * Main entry points are the {@link #buildFeedMetadata} and {@link #buildFeedItems}.
 *
 * 
Thanks to Jettro Coenradie and Sergio Bossa for the original feed view prototype!
