I'm not sure if this answers your question or not, but I've put RSS content
into a wiki page and then linked to the ?action=raw version of the page for
use in RSS readers. I've also done this with json so that I could use a bit
of ajax in another page in the site, but that's obviously another topic. So
if your page is somesite.com/News you may want
somesite.com/NewsFeed?action=raw to be your rss. Viewing NewsFeed without
the ?action=raw provides useless output.

This is not automated, but I'd thought of using something like Gustavo's
"edit moin" software <http://labix.org/editmoin> and a script to dynamically
update the page from another computer to provide the appearance of
semi-dynamic data. (Gustavo - just another reason why you're one of my
heroes!)

I ended up not doing this and basically ditching the project since the wiki
used here was not cached in any way and RSS readers can be merciless when
checking for updates. But I used it enough to know that it works perfectly.
