I have no idea about Kontact's requirements, but right now the DCOP RSS 
service is not up to KNewsTicker's needs. In particular, browsing the 
existing feeds takes very very long (try the feedbrowser testcase). AFAICS, 
the service works well for programs which already know which services they 
(might) have to query though.

How mature the DCOP RSS thing is, is an independant question though. If you 
are ok with having librss in kdenetwork, and nobody voices objections, then 
we can move librss to kdenetwork, have Tobias' Kontact plugin use it, and 
decide whether to make KNT use librss or DCOP RSS or a crystal ball which 
reports tomorrow's news.

Darn, I was just about to get the hang of slashdotting slashdot. :^)
