I think it is simply a question on RSS being a great tool for serial information such as blog posts, news items, alerts etc. It does not work well for displaying information that is in flux, where relationships might shift over time, or even more generally, where relationships matter. That's not a problem, I think, given that RSS is a 'simple' format by design. Somewhere in the back of my mind I remember a discussion on TWIT or the Gillmor Gang with Gabe Rivera of TechMeme where he discussed this issue and at the time, nobody seemed to know what to do either. Maybe some kinds of information are just meant to be looked at in a browser and not in an RSS reader. Kenji – I wonder about that, too.
