Slide 21: Cool stuff, but what about Y! “RSS and XML are easy targets for a beta  service. But whats really needed is more input adapters. Microformats, FOAF, S5, WebAPIs, XMPP, etc. The transformers are predictable bar the user-defined filters (which I would assume would be XSL?). There's other services like RSS Mix and Feed Rinse which do the same thing. Chris is right, filters are old hat.” http://www.cubicgarden.com/blojsom/blog/pipelines/Environm 
