SyndicationTool - Overview: CMF Syndication Overview.
  
  Description

    The SyndicationTool allows for sitewide syndication of content in folders
    (or folder-like objects which support the synContentValues interface).
    Currently on the SyndicationTool the following features are present:
        
        1.  Enable/disable sitewide syndication.
        
        2.  Override my Syndicaiton Element defaults on the Properties 
        management form.

    Once sitewide syndication has been enabled, the Syndication action on
    folders is enabled, allowing syndication for a specific folder to be 
    enabled.  This is to protect calling the RSS dtml method on folder 
    contents one wishes to remain non-syndicated.  A 'syndication_information'
    object is set on the folder which acts as the 'propertysheet' for over-
    riding sitewide defaults for each particular syndication instance.


    In the next revision of the SyndicationTool, the following features are
    being planned:
        
        1. Reimplementation of the manner properties are called on the 
        SyndicationTool class and instance, as well as on the 'syndication-
        information' object.  A getElementProperty method will handle generic
        grabing of properties.
        
        2.  Adding the ability to addElementProperties, to allow for easily
        enabling additional XML namespaces to be incorporated on an instance
        without requiring reimplementation of the SyndicationTool.

        3.  Default sitewide properties for the dublin core module support.

        4.  Sitewide enabling/disabling override switches for the supported
        XML namespace module default values.

        5.  Sitewide/Folder level content filtering of content returned back
        in the itemRSS DTML method to allow for selective content returned 
        for the syndication.

        6.  Sort Order setting.  Allow the setting of how the content is sorted
        in the syndication.

        7.  Add switch to disallow acquisition to disable sub-folder syndication
        within an existing syndicated folder.

        8.  Other features are possible as users give feedback on the 
        Syndication implementation.
