I like the 'heres my latest content' approach - but how would they verify
the authority of the submission? The administrative overhead of passwords
will probably put a damper on this approach.
I simple 'site changed' that caused them to GET against a registered URL
ensures them that the content is actually from the site it is supposed to be
from.
What if they just kept track of how often a site appeared to change and
adjusted that sites schedule accordingly?
