Hi, 

the solution I plan, is to make type casting and view rendering two
different steps available in differnt classes. The advantage is, that I can
display the same typecasted content in different views, i.e. HTML Page and
RSS feed. 

Daniels case would look similar like this:

$downloads=$this->get('downloads');
$c = new TypeCaster();
foreach ($downloads as $download) {
        ?>
        <h3><? print $c->plainToXHTML($download['title'])?></h3>
        ...

Regards
