=========================================

Using ROME Fetcher, I would like to read an RSS file from the file system but
it doesn't seem to be possible. I want to write a test that reads a known RSS
file as test data.

The HTTP fetcher complains if the URL is not an HTTP URL. Perhaps there needs
to be another implementation for file URLs?

Will not be implemented because of #276
