Finally taking a look at Marc Barrot's latest activeRenderer work. Marc visited Paolo in Italy this weekend. I have been to Venice, if only for a few days about nine years ago (wow, it's been that long…), so I know enough to be envious. 
Comments on the activeRenderer tool:
Is tool updating supposed to work? I can't figure it out. If I manually trigger it, I get an error message: “Can't update the root because “The server, madrid.userland.com, returned error code 4: Can't send you an update because the sysop hasn't registered a database named “activeRenderer.root”.”
You should probably dump the 'activeRendererWebsite' table if you don't create a web site.
The tool automatically creates a template for my Instant Outline. It doesn't look so good. Can it use your existing template instead? It'd be nice to be able to plop an outline down anywhere, rather than having to do it on a page basis.
#flDisplayCup “regular”—no, 'fl' means 'flag', true or false. #opmlCupStyle, perhaps?
Otherwise, looks good, simple, clean. Some of the stylistic things about your UserTalk coding I'd change, but from looking at RssDistiller, it seems to be a reflection of eVectors' style. My personal style is a lot closer to UserLand's, because that's what I grew up with, so to speak.
