How to parse rss-feeds / xml in a shell script

Sometimes a simple one liner with shell standard commands can be enough for this:

 wget -q -O- "http://www.rss-specifications.com/rss-podcast.xml" | grep -o '<enclosure url="[^"]*' | grep -o '[^"]*$' | xargs wget -c

Sure this does not work in every case, but it's often good enough.
