General Guidelines for modules:

This is intended to serve as a guide for contributions as well as a hint for users working with the modules.

• Modules are packaged in com.sun.syndication.feed.module.[Module Name].
• Modules contain a com.sun.syndication.feed.module.[Module Name].Module.URI reference for retrieval from ROME Synd* classes.
• Modules contain a com.sun.syndication.feed.module.[Module Name].ModuleImpl that is a concrete implementation.
• Modules contain a com.sun.syndication.feed.module.[Module Name].types package that holds any other datatypes needed for the module. Many of these are simple immutable types to simplify clone() and copyFrom()
• Modules contain a com.sun.syndication.feed.module.[Module Name].io package with parsers and generators.
