XML/Liberty + RSS et al?

Any interest in looking into/ discussing/ an XML solution inline with 
Liberty (hard definition of identity)?  While I'm as much an anti-fan of 
XML as anyone out there, life is a river.   [i.e. REST, not SOAPfuscation].

Daniel has established good protocols.  The reader ends up having a lot 
in common (almost identical to) an RSS (et al) reader. 

Perhaps this list has a good group for producing a well defined problem 
+ solution and a tight, clear spec.

I agree that a clean break is most interesting.  Postel's world was 
utterly foreign to this one.  Although SMTP notifications are vaguely 
plausible.

I disagree that multicast is interesting.  While theory is perfect, 
practice is absurd relative to a spec.  Perhaps in software it's 
plausible, but an alternative email system has to win as a brilliantly 
simple spec, hence the strength of Postel's products.  It should be 
readily implemented on a cell phone, for example.
