Hi Everyone,

My project is considering GeoRSS as our data-sharing standard with partners. I 
am pleased with how easily OpenLayers will display GeoRSS points, but I'm 
wondering how other developers ensure efficient auto-updates. My first 
impression was that OpenLayers would automatically check a GeoRSS XML file and 
automatically load updates (i.e., like an RSS aggregator). When further 
exploring, it seems like custom code must be written to auto-update the layer. 

Am I missing something? Is there a way to ensure new points added to a GeoRSS 
file are automatically, efficiently loaded by OpenLayers (without page 
refresh)? It seems like there must be a better way to update the layer than 
destroying and reloading the GeoRSS layer.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance,

Bill
