	<!-- notes:
	      - standard RSS nodes:
		      - category - will represent the programme (values above)
			  - link and guid must be the same, or we should then consider removing guid
			  - description will contain 1-2 sentences, plus the dates/location texts
		      - pubDate - will contain the date/time when the event has been added into the RSS feed and on event pages
	      - new custom nodes in RSS:
		      - itm:eventStartDate - start day of event (both single/multi-day events; empty if date is TBC)
			  - itm:eventEndDate - end day of event (for multi-day events; empty otherwise)
		  - event date and location will be written in description, and will contain rel="blank" and rel="external"
		      - these will work correctly on our pages (the script should catch them ... otherwise we'll amend it slightly to understand onload event of the calendar (?)
			  - they shouldn't cause any problems in RSS readers, the attributes should be ignored
