Good point. I've been *attacked* by an RSS aggregator that did it every 10 minutes. It was unnecessarily hard trying to inform whatever it was that I've got perfectly valid RSS over here, not in all those places it was looking. I ended up having to create an RSS file with one of the names that had one item that said "STFU and leave me alone".
