CML RSS

Hi all,

I've been talking to Nick Day about the issues he's been having with 
CMLRSS, i.e. the feed itself is problematically large.

I was wondering about the possibility of moving CMLRSS to an enclosure 
based approach, so instead of embedding the CML we'd have something like: -

<item>
 <title>NSC 383504</title>
 <link>http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/bitstream/1810/183614</link>
 <description>Molecule id 383504 from the NSC small molecules 
collection</description>
 <enclosure 
url="http://www.dspace.cam.ac.uk/bitstream/1810/183614/2/nsc383504_post-mopac.cml"; 
length="" type="chemical/x-cml"/>
 <pubDate>2007-05-24</pubDate>
</item>

I think this way will be easier for clients and servers alike.

If the link resolves to an RDF description or a GRDDL-able HTML page you 
could retrieve additional metadata as well.

Any thoughts? How many projects would this change affect? Could / should 
we allow both solutions in the future?

Best regards,
jim
