Indeed!

I don't have a use for it right now, but been working on generating some
data sources for this in the form of CMLRSS feeds generated from the
databases we're working on here at IU.

One example is an RSS feed for a PubChem synonym search - supply a name
such as aspirin or viagra and get a CMLRSS feed for PubChem compound
entries that contain that name - the feed includes PubChem CID, InChi,
IUPAC name and 2D coordinates. Examples feeds are

http://rguha.ath.cx/~rguha/pcrss/synsearch/getFeed?name=aspirin or
http://rguha.ath.cx/~rguha/pcrss/synsearch/getFeed?name=borane

The data is pulled from a local PubChem mirror we maintain at IU. Also
the response is a little slow right now as we're trying to improve
performance of the DB.

Similarly, I'll be putting up a CMLRSS feed for a docking DB that we are
populating.
