FWIW the "Atom" solution (assuming you're referring to RFC5005) can just as 
easily be used in an RSS feed (see appendix B). As for the issue of 
scalability, I don't believe dynamic responses are necessarily a 
requirement.

The real problem though is adoption. Inventing yet another solution to this 
problem, no matter how well designed, seems pointless to me if nobody is 
interested in implementing it.
