Reason for

change:

*

RSS auto discovery is a well established protocol on the web that allows, for example, browsers to find RSS feeds at a site. This

capability would be leveraged to make OGC services discoverable in the same way aiding other services like catalogues. Presumable a

catalogue could use the RSS auto discovery protocol to find all the services available at a site and harvest them ... without having to have a priori knowledge of the URL for each capabilities document.
