I am not sure how to explain this as I am not a coder, but could the 
answer be to run a program that ran every thirty minutes or so to 
read the seperate feeds and write them to a new seperate .xml feed 
file?  It may not be possible, but it seems like it should be 
somehow.  I have a program that will do it and write it to a php 
file, but that doesnt work for syndicating the feed to other sites, 
only to my own.
