Assuming that the RSS contains author information... Unfortunately, most
RSS that I read only contains item/title/description :( which is wholly
useless for the finding related information (unless I care about other
titles or descriptions for the same item).  And even if the dc:creator
is specifed, it could be 'Dan Zambonini' in some, 'Daniel Zambonini' or
'Mr D Zambonini' in others... Now, URIs on the other hand...
