[Bodington-developers] xml foods

[Selwyn L. <sel...@ph...>]

Ian et al,

this is the seperate thread...

I say foods, not feeds [XML] because it bugs me that the design of feeds 
like rss is you have to read and reread the same xml until the server 
modifies it.

Is there a protocol or spec for feeds which once read are eaten so to 
speak... i.e. you eat them once only go back and their gone...

Other than a reliable messaging approach.

a move protocol if you like... I think we have some reasonable use cases 
/ business processes to support the requirement, particularly when 
reading in many sources of data.

I'm think SMTP :)

But just wondered if you knew of anything in the realms of rss / atom etc

Cheers

Sel
