To clarify, I know I can create my own rss feed (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html) using v:collection, etc., but what I am getting at is a simple attribute for v:rss that lets me show a pubDate for each item.

This isn't a biggie, mostly curious if that attribute is available for v:rss.

Here's how we do it:

<v:rss>
<pubDate>
<v:text path="posted_on" strftime="%a, %d %b %Y %H:%M:%S %z" />
</pubDate>
</v:rss>

Yeah, that should probably be built-in somehow. But this works!

Worked like a charm. Thanks.

Btw... for anyone else checking this out. Be sure to the v:rss tag rather than constructing your own rss feed using something like v:collection. The advantage to using the v:rss tag - aside from the fact that its less code to write - is that it strips out the html characters that are not valid in an rss feed (e.g. the non-breaking space character is not valid in an rss feed).
 

Also, if you try to use v:collection, Vae will stop parsing at the first line: <?xml version="1.0"?>
