Since we have the registries in version control, we actually do have a
journal so that's not a big deal.  Back when I was IANA GM, I had put on our
'to do' list publishing the diffs, etc., but never got around to figuring
out the best way to do it.  I would agree in that I wouldn't imagine there
would be a lot people interested in watching all of the O(100)
changes/month, but my thought with a feed is folks could automate updating
their copies of the registries.  I figure a viewer would be useful, if only
to have an easy way to figure out who to blame for a mistake (:-)).

A separate issue and I (for one) would like to publicly thank you for the
efforts.  So thanks!
