Traditionally, headlines have never really had a specific standard,
instead distributing its payload with the jabber:x:oob namespace. I'm
considering what direction to take for the next version of Janchor (
http://janchor.jabberstudio.org/ ). Personally, I'm leaning towards
distributing the actual items in bulk in an RSS namspace, either 1.x or
or the new 2.0 namespace. (eg, one delivery for all the new items in a
particular update.) Such headlines could then be enclosed in a message
block, or in a pubsub item, as both support the inclusion of properly
namespaced children.

As for the "headline" message type, the only thing it appears to
officially indicate is that the message was automatically generated (
http://www.jabber.org/ietf/draft-ietf-xmpp-core-00.html#anchor6 ). In
this sense, I think it's probabbly either poorly named, or perhaps
entirely unneccesary, IMHO.
