I'm currently working on an extension, that will allow people to include content feeds in their pages. My proof-of-concept worked very well and now I made a free open source extension based on it. (See downloads section)

[edit] Concept
Can we bring RSS Feeds safely into Wiki pages ? You betcha!
[edit] How does it work
Similar to the Inputbox extension in this extension you enter some input variables and get the RSS delivered to your page.
<Rss2html> &FeedUrl=http://rss.news.yahoo.com/rss/mostemailed &maxitems=15 &template=http://blogger-bee.com/yahoorssfeed.html &allowedhtml=<b><i><p><br><li><ul><font><s><ol><pre> </Rss2html>
[edit] Rendering RSS
A great idea by the feedforall people was their template for RSS rendering. Using it you can format the RSS that will fill your page. On the template below, all RSS items are within ~~~ and the rest is plain wiki markup
'''To refresh this page use edit and change the ''&maxitems'' number''' See [[RSS2html]] for details
__NOTOC__
==~~~FeedTitle~~~ - {{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}}, {{CURRENTYEAR}}==
{{-}}
~~~BeginItemsRecord~~~
* {{fixyahootitle|~~~ItemTitle~~~}} published on ~~~ItemPubDate~~~ link: [~~~ItemLink~~~]
:~~~ItemDescription~~~
~~~EndItemsRecord~~~
Applying this template to Yahoo's Most e-mailed RSS output yields the rendering below:
[edit] safe html
The &allowedhtml tag allows the user to "clean" the RSS output of any unsafe or messy tags by using a white list of safe html. Anything not on this list coming from the RSS feed will be filtered out
