I agree with Don and Tim here. Especially if there's a server on the user's machine, reading XML feeds, doing a lot of churning, and generating HTML that any 4.0-level browser can render. <plugAndTease>I happen to be using such a piece of software and it works very nicely, and distributes the load off centralized servers, and also is on the SOAP and XML-RPC network at the same time.</plugAndTease> There is a model that works.
