We had been kicking this around at a couple of points last year around
here.  Could RSS, essentially a broadcast technology, be fit into a
narrowcast mode, one feed per customer.  Given that challenges to email
notification, I keep looking for alternatives. Here's a blog entry
proposing it.

My gut sense is that without an authentication layer this can't work ...
but then we have authentication layers built into the ILS that *might*
be leveraged.  Does anyone have any experience with this?
