Creating ATOM Feeds via the Web 2.0 Starter Toolkit for IBM DB2 too easy?

Does the Web 2.0 Starter Toolkit for IBM DB2 on alphaWorks make publishing ATOM feeds too easy to publish pureXML in the database? You may say XML documents are very complicated compared to the demo. I expect that this question may arise. Well that may be true. However, it does provide a means to get you on-ramped. With a little understanding of XQuery you still can achieve a fair bit of complexity. Feel free to look at the industry standard formats that are published on alphaWorks and leverage these concepts for ATOM feed publishing. Then apply this complexity to the Web 2.0 Starter Toolkit for IBM DB2. Shoot me…. we used the KISS principle!
