Sorry, I wasn't being clear. The RSS component is designed to enable
syndicated headlines from other web sites to be incorporated into 
MKDoc web sites, for example slashdot headlines are listed at the
end of this page using a RSS component:

Of course one can use a RSS component to load a RSS feed from the
same site but this is pointless since it will be a lot slower to
reflect updates then using a headlines component.
