Thanks for the idea Shawn - i think sse could be the answer but i ideally
there would be a microformat available i could use (i guess i'm just lazy!).
To clarify, if you think about Versioned-Documents, they will have a number
of characteristics:
version number: 1.0, 1.1, 2.0 etc.
updated by: <person>
update date: <date>
status: draft, published, etc.
First version URI: The URI to the first document version
Previous version URI: The URI to the last document version
Version URI: where the document is
conceptually, the idea of a microformat to describe an individual document
version is very cool

Hi All - i'd appreciate your thought on how microformats can (or could) be
applied to solving the problem i'm trying to tackle:
A lot of corporations have internal document management systems which are
used to apply change and version control for (mainly) documents.
Ironically, a large company will have around 8 different internal document
managements, each focusing on a different type of document or process.
Seems to me that an RSS feed containg a microformat describing the document
meta-data, version infomation and enclosed file would be the ideal way to
distribute document meta-data and version information between different
systems. I'm thinking that it would work in a similar way to hCard, with
each document having its own meta data.
Would SSE <http://msdn.microsoft.com/xml/rss/sse/> handle the
versioning/sync issues? You'd still probably want a uf to describe the
document meta-data, 'course.
