I want a notification that tells Rick Karsten that I no longer want to be notified that he is on vacation. I'm getting really jealous. :-) Ok, now I am confused. Putting away the rathole discussion of 'real hypertext' (I can think of apps that real hypertext could do that the web does badly), you seem to be saying that you WOULD use RSS syndication for record level notifications. So you don't see a scale issue with that? Please elaborate. len -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Allen [mailto:joshuaa@m...] Well, I get an e-mail anytime someone accesses my credit files, and I probably *wouldn't* want to get that via RSS. However, it is very appealing to me to have RSS feeds available that tell me whenever anyone enters a new bug in the bug database against me, or whenever someone checks in code changes to a tree that I care about. These capabilities serve a real need, and are available today very simply using RSS. And in fact I would argue that RSS is superior, because I can modify the scope of the delivered feed based on URL parameters (very RESTful).
