10.4: See multiple feeds over time in RSS screen saver
I like the idea of your script, but the actual implementation is ugly.
Most of the hints lately have been doing awful things with plist files.
You almost never need to convert a binary plist to an xml file. Also many, if not all, applications don't care if the plist is xml or binary.
`defaults write $plist_file feedURL $new_feed`
10.4: See multiple feeds over time in RSS screen saver

I re-wrote the script and sent it in, but I guess it got separated from the original hint. This version starts with a different feed in the list each day, to get a little extra rotation into the mix.
Here it is, if you're interested:
