Iterating a SharePoint 2010 Atom feed - powershell

Question

SharePoint 2010 returns an Atom feed when using its REST API.
For example:
http://SERVER/Tasks/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Tasks?$select=Id,Title,Status&$filter=UserId eq 1234&$orderby=Status asc
Results:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes"?>
<feed xml:base="http://SERVER/Tasks/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/" xmlns:d="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices" xmlns:m="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/metadata" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title type="text">Tasks</title>
<id>http://SERVER/Tasks/_vti_bin/listdata.svc/Tasks</id>

<link rel="self" title="Tasks" href="Tasks" />

<title type="text">Lorem Ipsum</title>

<link rel="edit" title="List" href="Tasks(4444)" />
<category term="Microsoft.SharePoint.DataService.TasksItem" scheme="http://schemas.microsoft.com/ado/2007/08/dataservices/scheme" />
<content type="application/xml">
<m:properties>
<d:Title>Lorem Ipsum</d:Title>
<d:Status>Complete</d:Status>
<d:Id m:type="Edm.Int32">4444</d:Id>
</m:properties>
</content>
</entry>
...
</feed>
I'm hoping to list each <m:property> element as a row in Format-Table, but this code doesn't work:
...
[xml]$xml = Get-Url $url
$xml.feed.entry.content.properties | Format-Table -Property #{Label="Id"; Expression={$_.Id."#text"}},
#{Label="Title"; Expression={$_.Title}},
#{Label="Status"; Expression={$_.Status}}
I suspect this relates to the namespaces, but I'm not sure why. It would seem that PowerShell would be aware of this, given that it has already parse the XML.
In general, is there an easier way to work with Atom feeds?

Fixed name of Status field.
Would expect to see something like this:
Id Title Status
---------- ---------- ----------
8345 Lorem ipsu Active
4534 Ipsum lore Inactive
...
Instead, nothing is returned (no column header, no rows).

function Get-Url {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[Parameter(Mandatory=$True)]
[String] $webUrl
)
begin { Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)::Begin" }
process {
try {
$req = [System.Net.WebRequest]::Create($webUrl)
$req.Method ="GET"
# JSON
# $req.Accept = "application/json; odata=verbose"
# $req.ContentType = "application/json; charset=utf-8"
$req.ContentLength = 0
$req.Credentials = [System.Net.CredentialCache]::DefaultCredentials
$resp = $req.GetResponse()
$reader = new-object System.IO.StreamReader($resp.GetResponseStream())
return $reader.ReadToEnd()
}
catch [Exception] {
Write-Host $_.Exception.ToString()
}
finally {
if ($reader -ne $null) {
$reader.Close()
}
}

end { Write-Verbose "$($MyInvocation.MyCommand.Name)::End" }
