Strangely, I also cast a glance at such a feature for the site I'm working 
on, and here is the solution I used, for thye faster development.
 - First, a good RDF/RSS library. I used the one given at ChurchillObjects, 
which provides document parsing as well as document construction.
 - Second, a Java class (it may be integrated in a jsp) that process the 
java objects for producing the good HTML fragment.
 - And finally, A jsp that call the specific Java class.

At all, it took me half a day to compile, package and deploy the whole in 
OpenCMS.
Not a hard work, isn't it ?
