Re: parse/build in the same classes

[Thomas Koch <th...@koch.ro>]

After another day with abdera, it seems to me that there might be one design 
decission of Abdera that might be worth a reconsideration.

Currently, parsing and building of feeds is handled by the same classes.
In practice, I'm either a producer or a consumer of a feed. I seldom want to 
modify a feed I've parsed or parse the feed I've just built.

Even if I'd like, there could be methods to switch, like 

AbderaElementBuilder.build() : AbderaElement
AbderaElement.Builder : AbderaElementBuilder

The first method is obviously necessary to make us of a feed I've just built.

So if'd just have the time, I'd refactor Abdera and clearly seperate both use 
cases.
