There is an issue concerning the updating process of the items in the feed view of the RSS aggregator according to changes of the source. In this context, Miladin Pavlicic, IE Senior Developer, presented
an example that he came across via customer feedback. The creation and management of a list of items that is served as a feed to users. In this context, there is an issue with the correlation between the changes introduced to the web application and the updates of the items in the feed list.

"Since the feed is supposed to correctly reflect the state of the user's item list, this was a problem. Unfortunately, the desired behavior doesn't quite work with established feed usage," revealed Pavlicic "A majority of feeds expose only a small number of most recent items and older items periodically get aged out. But you wouldn't want to miss posts from your favorite blog or news feed just because you went on vacation and those posts are no longer in a feed! This is why the Windows RSS Platform stores all the items until the user-controllable feed item storage limit is reached (200 items by default)."

Pavlicic also presented the answer. Making the feed a list. This solution works due to the fact that Internet Explorer 7 and the Windows RSS Platforms both deliver support for the feeds with a complete ordered list of items. Users will be able to transform your feed into a list by introducing an extension under the or the node.
