I'm not sure if the pattern match fix is ideal, since I'm still very new to RSS/XML in general, but I try to preserve the spirit of "empty the feed". On the other hand, given addItem appears to fail on an XMLFeed, maybe this isn't even necessary at all.
Apparently UTF8 no longer has the IO module, so we need to lock into a version that does.
