Wow... thats GREAT.  (I'm the author of the FeedParser). 

BTW.  Its in commons-proper now but I just haven't had a chance to do a 
0.5.0 release.  We've had a release candidate but I need to release 
another one WRT some feedback we've had.

If you're running from a sandbox build I'd HIGHLY recommend getting a 
commons proper build of 0.5.0RC1.
