This interface is quite unreliable, the output can't be parsed in an unambiguous
way, and may get truncated. I did implement notifications via XMPP several years
ago, but it never went beyond a proof of concept. Have a look at the XMLRC
extension if you are interested.

Well, polling isn't really the problem, fetching all the content is. And you'd
need to do that no matter how you get the information of what has changed.

In principle that is a decent update interface, but I'd recommend not to use OAI
before we have implemented feature 47714 ("Support RDF and API serializations
of entity data via OAI-MPH"). Right now, what you'd get from there would be our
*internal* JSON representation, which is different from what the API returns,
and may change at any time without notice.
