Problem with a fat ping is that there's no guarantee a Publisher can access the entire feed content at the time a ping is made. Often the ping is sent after publishing new content, before and not necessarily after the new feed has been generated (which can occur on the next user request, including the Hub's).

My understanding is that there's a light ping from the publisher to the hub. It would be convenient to use a fat ping here for the same reason as a fat ping makes sense from the hub to the consumer. Especially for low power devices the extra operations are a bit of a drain.
