Yes, using AWS to communicate with the server (using AWS.Client.Get), and
then XML/Ada to parse the received file, it is indeed quite trivial to have
such a reader.
All depends of course what you want to do with the result afterward. If you
want to show it graphically, it requires more work (using GtkAda, of
course :-), but you can also simply display it in a web page to aggregate
several feeds (use AWS for the server)
