Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Look at this url: 
http://www.uni-frankfurt.de/rss/34459651?channels=pressreleases
2. There are over 900 Feed
3. I just need the first 20, 30 or 50 or so

Research direction

Start by reproducing the reported URL, which returns more than 900 feeds, and inspect the feed-parsing entry point to see how feed items are iterated. Define how a caller would request a limit such as 20, 30, or 50, and verify that only the first requested number is parsed or returned.
