The `FeedReader` also accepts an optional `FeedNormalizer` (needs to implement the `IFeedItemNormalizer` interface). This "normalizer" can transform or otherwise affect the way [`SyndicationItem`](http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.syndication.syndicationitem.aspx)s are transformed into `FeedItem`s. The `FeedItem` is the basic object retrieved from feeds and, for simplicity, contains only a few simple properties and methods. It has `Title`, `Summary`, `Content`, `Uri` , `PublishDate`, `LastUpdatedDate`, `Images` and `Categories` properties and that's about it. The default `DefaultFeedItemNormalizer` strips and decodes any HTML in the `Title`, `Summary`, `Content` to (try to) reliably return plain text only. The `Date` property will be populated with whatever the `SyndicationItem`'s latest date is: the `PublishDate` or `LastUpdatedTime`.
