Dave talks about nobody having done a translator for Atom. It wasn't obvious before (I didn't mention it on the page itself) but my Feed Normalizer will do this quite nicely.

It's easy for me to do at least, because I'm programming in Python, which means I get to use Mark Pilgrim's code to do the parsing. Atom's a moving target, but Mark has a pretty strong interest in tracking it, so all I need to do is periodically download new copies of his parser.

For the record, I don't understand why Google has ditched RSS. If they're generating RSS for some of their users, it couldn't be that hard to generate it for the rest of them.
