Tested on:
SingleFeed Export Module v1.1.0
Magento v1.3.2.4

I ran into a problem though. You can’t import a data feed into Google Base that contains HTML tags and special characters. Most of the clients I work with prefer to have a WYSIWYG editor for things like the CMS pages, product descriptions, etc., which will add HTML formatting in the database.
