Re: Notification protocol?

I think a notification protocol is probably not very interesting to the big
robot/search companies - it probably wouldn't improve their services
perceptibly to they typical user. I think these companies are probably
investing more in content aggregation and localization than in their robot
technology.

I think notification is of more interest in intranet-style indexing.

I'd like to see notification addressed in a more general context than just
indexing, so that it can be used for replication as well -- something that
might apply to indexing, content replication, and RDBMS replication. I'd be
interested in others' thoughts about the utility of that.
