RSS is a standard format fur such things. It lists content of a

The idea would be create an RSS feed of all items, then use the feeder
plugin (with modifications) to return the top four items.
Ok, I understand that. One point though: isn't converting the whole
set of documents to RSS going to be a bit resource intensive?
By "all items" I meant "all news items". The amount of processing is no
greater than creating a custom navigation plugin. It's almost identical
except that I am proposing using a standard intermediate format (RSS) to
enable reuse in a broader set of use cases.
