Add the custom namespace definition to the feed

The first requirement is to add the namespace reference to the <rss> element at the top of the feed.

The URL of the namespace is specified using the following tag:

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:ibmwcm="http://purl.org/net/ibmfeedsvc/wcm/1.0" >

This is a fixed property value that the feed parser uses as the key to identify elements which belong to the custom Web Content Integrator namespace.

For example:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
    <rss version="2.0" xmlns:ibmwcm="http://purl.org/net/ibmfeedsvc/wcm/1.0" >
    <channel>
        <title>Sample Feed</title>
        <link>http://www.ibm.com/feeds/sample.rss</link>
        <description>An example RSS Feed</description>

        <item>
            <title>News Item Two</title>
            <link>http://www.ibm.com/news/two.htm</link>
            <description>

            </description>
            <pubDate> Tue, 31 Oct 2006 10:31:00 EST</pubDate>
            <ibmwcm:itemType>Content</ibmwcm:itemType>
        </item>
    </channel>
</rss>

The namespace label "ibmwcm" can be changed so long as the label specified in the namespace declaration matches the label used on the extended elements in the feed.
