Rename docs/*.md => docs/*.txt
The documentation uses features of Python-Markdown that are not supported on GitHub and it's better to get a source view of the docs anyway. For example, that way comments and bug reports can reference a specific line of a file. Of course, it makes sense for Github to render the README, so that is left with the `.md` file extension.

+RSS
+===
+
+Summary
+-------
+
+An extension to Python-Markdown that outputs a markdown document as RSS. This
+extension has been included with Python-Markdown since 1.7 and should be
+available to anyone who has a typical install of Python-Markdown.
+
+Usage
+-----
+
+From the Python interpreter:
+
+ >>> import markdown
+ >>> text = "Some markdown document."
+ >>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, ['rss'])
+
+Configuring the Output
+----------------------
+
+An RSS document includes some data about the document (URI, author, title) that
+will likely need to be configured for your needs. Therefore, three configuration
+options are available:
+
+* **URL** : The Main URL for the document.
+* **CREATOR** : The Feed creator's name.
+* **TITLE** : The title for the feed.
+
+An example:
+
+ >>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, extensions = \
+ ... ['rss(URL=http://example.com,CREATOR=JOHN DOE,TITLE=My Document)']
+ ... )
