Instead of downloading the whole rss feed every time, only the deltas are sent to the client. This could be useful for people on dialup, or using the cell phone network to download the feed. <span class="mt-export2wp"></span> Personally, I don't see the difference between this and an ISP or company running a http proxy like squid.
