Gotcha. Still if there was a good alternative I would host my own blog
via dyndns.org or some such and implement the secure protocol

Maybe this would be not impossible for me to create with netcat and
some other tools

I wouldnt really worry about the cert as long as the clients only got
plain text feeds.

I remember fighting tooth and nail to make all emails in my department
text only, and I was shot down by a succession of the highest people
in my department. I cant help but think that if we never included HTML
composition in email clients I could have solved all the SMTP AV
issues with attachment stripping

Its too late for email, but is it too late for RSS?
