[WIP] Common feed format
This is a first attempt at defining a common structure for both Atom and RSS feeds. It's not complete yet, and it doesn't provide the best round trip guarantees right now. Feedback is very much appreciated.
In addition to looking at the docs for both atom_syndication and rss, the information at RSS and Atom Compared has been extremely helpful while implementing this.
Thanks for the contribution!
We should only expose the common format as the public API. The purpose of this library is to define a common format so that you can use the same code for working on both Atom and RSS feed, but I just never got around to finishing it. Exposing the Atom/RSS library-specific formats defeats that purpose.
I'll try to take a look at the code sometime this week.
Right now I'm considering doing
use atom_syndication as atom;
since it gives better symmetry with rss, and it's less annoying since I have to disambiguate the types a lot in some of the modules. Is this okay, or should I avoid this?
There aren't very good tests for this library, are there. Trying to write some, I guess I can see why. Any ideas for what I should do on the testing front?

You could use tests from other open source libraries. e.g. https://github.com/kurtmckee/feedparser/tree/develop/tests
Should I put myself as an author?
Definitely, especially since after this PR merges, most of the codebase will be your work.
Honestly, I haven't looked at Rust stuff in a really long time. So if you want, I can just transfer ownership of the repo/crate to you.
I just finished up classes for the year, and I accidentally broke my main RSS reader, so I figure now's a good time to come back to this. I'm going to try to use this to build a small feed reader in order to figure out if the API has any glaring holes.
Hi, is there still motivation for this? I'm currently writing an application that requires unified RSS & Atom parsing, this would be a great help. Willing to pick it up if there's no time for this on your side.
My job means I'm currently not able to easily make open source contributions, I would be happy with someone else picking up the work.
