I've worked on a number of BBC sites in a content capacity and I have to say the number of times just the sites I've worked on have re-published large numbers of pages (or elements of pages) with just micro-changes (sometimes not even visible ones, ie meta-data) is immense. So I would question whether a feed of all pages that have recently changed would be of much value, other than for statistical purposes. Unless you introduce ways of splicing or specifying within the dataset of course; then you could focus on areas that might get results that would of use.

That would be useful if you wanted a log of when a page has changed and when for example (meta about the page I guess) But for holding data I think the idea of using xhtml with lots of Microformats or rdf/a makes better sense.

Will the BBC be producing any feeds for the Heroes website at all or BBC Three? Since the demise of the cult site, I'm trying to get the various bits of information together in RSS form as a bit of an experiment.
