I'm slightly uncomfortable with the word "server". IMHO, if at all
possible this should be de-centralized.

Cool idea though.

But then RSS is thriving exactly because it's so simple. Scheduled Pull
works pretty damn well, even though Push on Change might be better.

I just have a hard time imagining lots of RSS sources implementing
Jabber push successfully, when so many of them have such trouble
producing a simple 0.91 file now.
