Dare's scheme is a different approach, based on only reporting changed
items since "some point" (bookmark, id or date).  SSFF's apprach is on
minimizing the bytes used in the feed itself.  Whether the former is a
benefit to the latter is valid question, my gut feel is that it's not
a benefit.

Note also that the "report changes" approach requires a "live" server.
SSFF can work with a live or static server.
