OLR's, PHP, RSS, vbulletin, thread trees, etc.

This link goes to a technical article about how to put vbulletin conversations into RSS feeds on web pages:

Or at least that's how I read it.

I'm not suggesting that anybody volunteer to try to do this!

I just thinking that RSS (e.g. for blogs, etc.) is becoming popular enough now that such capability might soon be incorporated into bulletin board systems as a standard feature.

And if there do exist RSS readers (a.k.a. news readers, having usurped that name from the NNTP readers) that support OLR and thread tree capability, then OLR's might make somewhat of a "comeback".

P.S.
Unfortunately RSS readers will also make an excellent vector for propagating malware and such OLR's would probably not have posting ability.
