UserLand supports the <cloud> element in Manila, Radio UserLand and
Radio Community Server (RCS), however Manila ships with the feature
turned off for scaling reasons, and UserLand's main RCS servers also
have it turned off for the same reason. However Radio does generate
the <cloud> element in its feeds. Here's an example:
Manila server managers can turn the feature on if their installation
will be able to handle the traffic. Brent is correct about having to
have a public HTTP port opened on your desktop machine when using
Radio, in order to get the notifications from the cloud server,
however the same is not true for Manila, since it's already a public-
facing HTTP server.
All that said, I don't know of any RSS reader or server that supports
the <cloud> element out of the box, without at least making a change
to default settings, and UserLand's apps may be the only ones that
fully implement the spec (such as it is).
As for more detailed docs, I think there probably are some, but I
don't know URLs off the top of my head. I can dig around if anyone is
interested.

pretty cool, because it worked, you got notified of updated feeds very
quickly.
The biggest problem with it, as I recall, was that it relied on
their being
an HTTP server on the user's machine that could be reached from the
outside
world (from the cloud server). Which is a pretty big problem.
