As I'm seeing an uptick in discussion about RSS again I guess I should try again to see if anyone else wants RSS feeds with more history than the newest 10 posts. RFC5005, "Feed Paging and Archiving", provides a comprehensive and well-designed mechanism for this. It was published in 2007 but has never had significant adoption that I can find. I've written a few implementations: a jekyll-feed PR (https://github.com/jekyll/jekyll-feed/pull/236), a WordPress plugin (https://github.com/jameysharp/wp-fullhistory), a proxy that adds history to unmodified WordPress feeds (https://github.com/jameysharp/wp-5005-proxy), and a simple demo of generating full-history feeds (https://github.com/jameysharp/predictable). I also wrote a blog post with a technical take on the connection between cache coherency and full-history feeds: https://jamey.thesharps.us/2020/08/06/feed-reader-cache-coherency/
