+    """A ``Feed`` implementation that renders it's title and
+    description templates using Jinja2.
+
+    Unfortunately, Django's base ``Feed`` class is not very extensible
+    in this respect at all. For a real solution, we'd have to essentially
+    have to duplicate the whole class. So for now, we use this terrible
+    non-thread safe hack.
+
+    Another, somewhat crazy option would be:
+        * Render the templates ourselves through Jinja2 (possible
+          introduce new attributes to avoid having to rewrite the
+          existing ones).
+        * Make the rendered result available to Django/the superclass by
+          using a custom template loader using a prefix, say
+          "feed:<myproject.app.views.MyFeed>". The loader would simply
+          return the Jinja-rendered template (escaped), the Django template
+          mechanism would find no nodes and just pass the output through.
+    Possible even worse than this though.
