Please add RSS support to the news window.

If I had to guess, I'd probably say the News window is one of the most underutilized features in NinjaTrader.

Just as NT supports Yahoo as a data source for those without a vendor, why not add .RSS support for those without a news service (likely 90+% of NT users)?

Both Yahoo Finance, Google Finance and countless other financial sites have free .RSS feeds, and it would greatly improve the usefulness of the News window if we could take advantage of them. RSS is really just XML, so it be really simple to incorporate.
