I know, I know.

What I said in [emacs-w3m:05100] meant that we can develop a backend
that retrieve headers based on RSS for sites providing RSS.  I named a
base class of such backends `sb-rss.el'.  It will provide only
`shimbun-get-headers' method based on RSS.

I do not argue that we can reconstruct all Shimbun backends in
RSS-based approach, and agree your analysis about difference between
requirement of Shimbun and one of RSS.
