[OT] interesting spin about Safari

[Jon Hicks]

I guess Opera could lay claim to the first browser to support RSS and 
show it within the browser. Its not as well presented as Safari's 
though!

I'd love Omniweb to be able to display basic feed content. Its already 
gathered it (select the headline in and see the excerpt in the page 
info tab of site preferences), presumably it just needs to generate a 
html page which can be styled nicely with a little CSS? Or am I 
over-trivializing the work involved?

Cheers,
Jon
