I wrote a tool that takes the [weblogs.com changes.xml] RSS file and munges it into a JavaScript variable that you can then slurp, parse and render. There really isn't any reason why I couldn't have done this with the original changes.xml file other than I only figured it out for RSS files yesterday. All of which suggests the need to write a generic to_javascript($xml,$outfile) method. It also suggests the possibility of writing a generic RSS parser but I just don't know if I have the energy to write hooks for all the various flavours, in JavaScript of all things...
