Because I will think of it as that until told better, 
what is the difference?

Maybe I have a wrong idea of what can be done with the 
aggregator because my model is subscription/notification. 
For example, in my business, an agency/officer can subscribe to 
a record change or the entry of a record with some 
information of some kind (say, anytime some one makes 
a query with the name 'Len Bullard' in it).  That is 
likely beyond the sort of tech we are discussing here, yes?

.... my point is mainly that "aggregation" of information that is 
unique to me is a bit of a misnomer, so I don't see the value of 
leveraging the RSS+Aggregator infrastructure to do that.  Better to 
build a real pub-sub network?

The 80/20 worse-is-better jabber comes in because one *could* think of 
RSS+Aggregators as a poor man's pub-sub network, but it scares me to 
use that philosophy for information that is intrinsically sensitive and 
time critical.
