1. FeedInput, added default constructor. Semantics is 'validation off'
   We forgot to added it when it was added to SyndFeed.
   NOTE that validation is not implemented yet. We need DTDs/XML-Schemas for the different feed syndication types.
2. FeedOutput and SyndOutput outputW3CDom() method typo correction
   Fixed typo in outputW3CDom() method, it was ouptutW3CDom().
3. AbstractFeed, renamed to WireFeed
   Never liked Abstract in the name. From Java inheritance it makes sense, but from the syndication feed perspective doesn't. It's the super class of the 2 wire feed beans Rome has, RSS Channel and Atom Feed.
4. Renamed SyndFeed createRealFeed(feedType) method to createWireFeed(feedType)
   For consistency with change #3
5. SyndFeed, added feedType property
   Read/write property. It indicates what was the feed type of the WireFeed the SyndFeed was created from. And the feed type a WireFeed created with createWireFeed() will have.
6. WireFeed, renamed type property to feedType
   For consistency with #5. Also it's more clear what the type is about.
7. Overloaded SyndFeed createRealFeed() with a no parameter signature
8. FeedOutput, removed feed type from constructor
   It now uses the WireFeed feedType property.
9. SyndOutput, removed feed type from constructor
   It now uses the SyndFeed feedType property define in #5.
10. FeedOutput, removed getType() method
    Now FeedOutput uses the WireFeed feedType property.
11. Removed dependency on Jakarta Commons Codec library
    We were using the Codec component to do Base64 encoding/decoding. Based on feedback to reduce component depencies we've removed this one (yes, we implemented a Base64 encoder/decoder).
12. Removed dependency on Xerces library
    This was an unnecessary dependency as Rome requeries JDK 1.4+ which includes JAXP implementation. JDOM can use that one.
13. Renamed syndication.io classes/interfaces
    Renaming for naming consistency and to reflect on what type of feed they work on.

    Code Block
    FeedInput --> WireFeedInput FeedOutput --> WireFeedOutput FeedParser --> WireFeedParser FeedGenerator --> WireFeedGenerator SyndInput --> SyndFeedInput SyndOutput --> SyndFeedOutputt

14. Removed syndication.util package, PlugableClasses is now private
    The PlugableClasses class has no business in Rome public API, it's implementation specific, it has been hidden (it should be replaced later with a micro-container).
15. Added samples to the Rome project directory structure
    Rome samples are a sub-project located at rome/modules/sample.
