In theory, WinFSP even lets you use the Wikipedia from within xplorer² (there was a wikipediafs for FUSE somewhere). That's much cooler than copying files!

I, myself, wrote an RSS file system once, but WinFSP is more complicated than - for example - Dokany, so it does not work on Windows yet. Maybe, one day...

the devil is usually in the details. A filesystem nowadays is extremely complex. Did you provide for symbolic links in your RSS filesystem?
WinFSP for example has various things that don't work fully

Of course not, because they wouldn't make much sense anyway.
Read-only file systems like mine are somewhat easier to handle. But I wouldn't want to reimplement NTFS on it.
