RSS and CMS Workflow?

Hhhmmmm. After visting CMSWatch the other day, I discovered this posting about using RSS feeds to manage content workflow.

While I think a good CMS will support RSS/XML aggregation and publishing of content, it seems a little overkill to push/pull pending content to RSS (for that matter any other XML format) when an adequate CMS administration system should provide the means to notify content approvers of pending content... whether it be email or secured Web. What is the point of pushing it to RSS? What about the security implications? In the end, the CMS should manage the workflow and all aspects -- notification, security, approval, categorization, etc...
