When I'm on a cell phone, I have very different RSS reading requirements than when I'm at my desk.

In imy case, I want a snapshot of each story, not the complete content. Using a ton of bandwidth to move each story down to the phone's browser is not smart. So it makes a lot of sense for news feeds to publish versions (or variants) of RSS that are heavy and light (<a href="http://rss.lockergnome.com/" target="_blank">rss.lockergnome.com</a>) provides a great example of this.RSS is a format that is not immediately consumable by cell phone browsers, so there has to be some form of aggregator that transforms the content from XML to xHTML or WAP.The MyST platform includes a server-side aggregation tool that allows us to easily combine specific feeds and reuse them in arbitrary XML formats including WAP and Wap Phone profiles.
