All I care for is that the user gets a notification _that_ the page has changed since his last check. Plus, the changes as a diff-like display. So, the RSS items should have a title such as "Updated on [date]", with a description of an excerpt of the changes as a diff or something slightly readable. I expect the read then to go to the main page anyways. I'm a bit surprised that no one has yet implemented such a feature. I write tech articles, not a blog. For a blog, readers are generally interested in updates to the entire blog because they like the author. In my case, readers are interested in a particular tech issue and like to know if that updates with new infos. So, does this mean I'm not getting an automatic trail for this easily?
