Re: Saving Bandwidth on RSS Feed Details

I posted this idea on my blog [1], and Antone Roundy had a better idea than ttl -- putting the date and time the feed details were last updated in the element, like this:

<rssboard:feedDetails lastUpdated="Tue, 13 Oct 2009 09:01:25 -0400">http://ekzemplo.com/feedDetails.rss</rssboard:feedDetails>

That way, the client knows when the detail feed needs to be checked for an update, and never checks it otherwise.
