The question would become 'from what source is the RSS being derived?'

The IIS web server doesn't 'come with' any specific templates for 
news-like functions.  Yes, it can support it, but nothing comes with 
it.  A data store for articles/news items seems to be driving source 
of an feed stream.  I use my Exchange server for the purpose.  It 
collects a variety of messages from which I can read with a web 
browser, an Outlook client, IMAP, POP3, NNTP or custom code using 
VC++, VB.  Some of which code now extracts RSS data.

But yes, some form of 'feed awareness' would be a great add-on to IIS.
