I had created a function for CFLib.org a while back that converted RSS feeds to CF Query Objects. It didn't offer much flexibility so I decided to make another one and add in support for ATOM and RDF feeds. I only have a slimmed down set of attributes for eash feed, so I will be adding to it. If you can think of anything that could be added, just let me know.
