What is ICE? ICE is Information & Content Exchange, a standard for syndicating information in xml. A subscriber can customise the information it receives (by push or pull) as dynamically generated xml from the syndicator. The latest ICE spec includes delivery options and is built to grow. A promising sentence: One can envision ICE implementations where the location URL and UUID are not the same, as in the case of a third-party subscription brokering service or clearing house. Compare and contract with RSS. Hm.
