Now that you mention it, a facelets page does look a lot like a rss
feed ;-) The custom tag has the
advantage of being able to serve feeds in different formats with a
simple change in an attribute and then left to the
underlying feed implementation...

Most functionality (single link, single author) could be accomplished
with the feed/entry pair. Multiple
links could then be offered as "advanced" functionality with ui:repeat
and r:link

Yep, it was a leftover from the excel module, committed an update that
does it the normal way
