RSS skipHours etc

Dear Log,

Today I had a happytime experience: after thinking for hours about how to implement RSS-reader logic that would avoid requesting things with respect to a feed's skipHours and skipDays, I realized I could do it in about 20 lines of not-horrible code, which I proceeded to scribble on some postits while at the diner.

It's one of those simple-in-retrospect things, whereas I thought there might have to be recourse to horrible graph theory or something. Thrackles and Klein bottles and knots oh my.
