     |  The generation of an RSS feed is simple, the following is a
     |  sample:
     |      from rsslib import RSS, Item, Namespace
     |      rss = RSS()
     |      rss.channel.link = "http://channel.com"
     |      rss.channel.title = "my channel title"
     |      rss.channel.description = "my channel description"
     |
     |      ns = Namespace( "foobar", "http://foobar.baz" )
     |      rss.addNamespace( ns )
     |
     |      item = Item()
     |      item.link = "http://link.com"
     |      item.description = "my link description"
     |      item.title ="my item title"
     |      item.nsItems[ns.name + ":foo"] = "bar"
     |      rss.addItem( item )
     |
     |      item = Item()
     |      item.link = "http://link2.com"
     |      item.description = "my link2 description"
     |      item.title ="my item2 title"
     |      item.nsItems[ns.name +":foo"] = "foo bar baz"
     |      rss.addItem( item )
     |
     |      print rss.write()
     |
     |  output:
     |      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
     |      <rss version="2.0" xmlns:foobar="http://foobar.baz" >
     |      <channel>
     |      <title>my channel title</title>
     |      <link>http://channel.com</link>
     |      <description>my channel description</description>
     |
     |      <item><title>my item title</title>
     |      <link>http://link.com</link>
     |      <description>my link description</description>

     |   
     |  A channel may contain any number of <item>s. An item may 
     |  represent a "story" -- much like a story in a newspaper or magazine; 
     |  if so its description is a synopsis of the story, and the link 
     |  points to the full story. An item may also be complete in itself, 
     |  if so, the description contains the text (entity-encoded HTML is 
     |  allowed; see examples), and the link and title may be omitted. 
     |  All elements of an item are optional, however at least one of 
     |  title or description must be present.
