They do have the ttl tag, at least in the main page, although as you say, it
is probably updated more regularly at times.

Some rss feeds provide a ttl tag (time to live) which indicates how
long you can
go without rescanning the feed. Would it be possible for bbc news to add
this
or would it be irrelevant given that the news could potentially update
every minute?
