This morning, at
cfObjective, ColdFusion Product Manager Jason Delmore spilled the beans about a new tag in
Scorpio named <CFFEED> which can be used to read and create RSS or Atom syndication feeds. <CFFEED ACTION="READ"> can read feeds from a URL or file (supporting RSS versions 0.90, 0.91, 0.92, 0.93, 0.94, 1.0, and 2.0, and Atom 0.3 or 1.0). <CFFEED ACTION="CREATE"> can create feeds from manually created structures or queries (supporting RSS 2.0 or Atom 1.0). This tag is incredibly flexible, and makes working with syndication simple and fun. I'll post examples in the future.
No more incredible workaourd......this wil really help a lot.

This is getting out of hand! How much functionality, cool features, smart ideas and what not can you fit into CF8? Unbelievable! I hope you never stop, and I hope you sell a billion copies. Great job Adobe!
The problem is when it gets to items <customRss:model> or <media:content> in the feed.
I am assuming because these values are not standard. If this is the case, is there any way to read these items using CFFEED?
Here's one item pulled from a feed as an example:
<item>
<title>TITLE</title>
<description>DESCRIPTION</description>
<pubDate>2007-09-14 00:00:00</pubDate>
<link>LINK</link>
<customRss:model>FORD GALAXIE</customRss:model>
<media:content url="http://www.picpulse.com/galaxie.jpg" type="image/jpeg"/>
</item>
