my experience with rss is that its a data format. if its widely supported by publishers then its automatic win.
i guess it allows for tbe diff'ed content updates to be modularized away from reloading the entire page over and over again. deffinitly reduces waste and improves subscriber retention/loyalty.
there is nothing in the standards that includes deduplication (AFAIK). but client devs always include it.
