That would be fine, except that it would still be necessary to
retrieve the actual articles (and comments, if that's interesting).
They don't appear to be available other than through parsing the
HTML.

I have a small Perl program (which also uses wget and lynx) that grabs
the .rdf file, gets the articles and injects them into my local news
server, so the change to the HTML format bit me as well :(
