[EAS] Part 11

[Harold Price]

Tom,

Though RSS appears to the user as a push - you subscribe to a feed, 
and articles show up, but behind the scenes, it is a pull - your 
browser or other RSS reader periodically fetches them for you.

In the case of CAP, the device will periodically go out to the RSS 
server and read a list of active alerts, which includes a link to the 
actual CAP message.  The CAP device can then fetch the actual CAP message.

Polling.
