Bob Wyman's Atom Syntax mailing list post blogs.msdn.com: RSS consumes too much bandwidth kicked off a very interesting discussion on the Atom Syntax mailing list. All of the well known remedies have been discussed including conditional GET, ETags, and compression. The discussions wander off into other areas such as serving newsfeeds over XMPP, using SSFT, and other interesting ideas.

Patrick Chanezon suggested that Danny Ayers' JSoup library could allow Rome to better handle malformed newsfeeds and the Romans are now exploring the idea of incorporating JSoup into the Rome project.
