What will you do when your PHP template gets the following valid MRSS element:

  <m:group xmlns:m="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";>...

or:

  <mrss:group xmlns:mrss="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";>...

instead of:

  <media:group xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/";>...

PHP isn't geared to XML.  XSLT *is* geared to XML.

You are cutting off your nose to spite your face.

But good luck to you!
