Actually the other post I made was about a different PASS system... I had never heard of this particular system before, but it is called "Publish And Subscribe Services" - it is what led me to find the pub/sub gadget system, but it is distinct from it....
>From what I have been able to gather it is a RSS (-ish) system, but documentation seems to be relatively thin for it and I was wondering if anyone else had encountered it before... The Gadget pubsub was just a added bonus I ran across while poking around for docs on the other system.
