I don't know if it's directly applicable to your project, but we've released
a database server called Virtuoso that has an XML content repository, and
can hit URLs to perform scheduled updates of XML feeds from remote sources.
There is also an in-build XSLT engine, so you can massage the XML however
you like and generate whatever content you write a style sheet for.

Virtuoso also transforms SQL data to XML documents on-the-fly, so you can
integrate relational data into your XML store.

Combine the above with snapshot or transactional replication and HTTP
serving, and you get a 'building block' that might fit some of the
aggregation and content transformation threads on this group.

More info and a free, non-expiring download is available at

Best regards,
Andrew
