Agreed; that said, feed generation can be expensive in itself. I'd like to imagine a world where hubs can generate feeds for polling clients, but publishers don't even need to think about generating feeds if they don't want to. While it's true that the publisher doesn't necessarily have the *feed* content at ping-time, it's also true that they definitely have the *entry* content at ping-time. b.
