if you can use another couchdh then rcouch [1] has the module couch_dbupdates [2] which ahs been specifically done for that purpose.
Also in rcouch you have the view changes [3] wich allows you to get notifications when the index is updated. This is a real view changes and not the current hack in couchdb, all sequences are incrementally indexed. This view changes allows you to make efficient filtered replications without the need of having one db/user. You can also validate reads [4] if you need it. Not to say that rcouch is fully compatible and based on couchdb 1.3. I'm actively working on porting the rcouch core to couchdb.
