Comment RSS + JabberD = Instant Distributed XML Transfer (Score 1) 161
RSS and Jabber are a natural fit. It seems like the idea of transmitting XML through an IM framework and letting the publishers server take the hit for Images/Multimedia files would make sense on the price/performance stance.
But if you really wanted to distribute everything, you could offload the image/multimedia to some sort of P2P scheme, and as the resources are published, seed the P2P network. RSS feeds would just have to send a jabber update with the P2P resource location, then the client would recieve the update and start streaming the content from the seed servers. Mirror sites could cache everything for old style web backward compatibility. Viola, instant (or close to) distributed web publishing.
