fyi, Dare has blogged on "Syndicating Ordered Lists" pointing to
Netflix's rather thin RSS 2.0 feed, pointing to some holes in the

OK, there are two issues there. 1 is ordering of the items, while the second is something similar to versioning.

It occurs to me that Roy's PaceFeedRecursive might solve the second problem pretty simply.
