Support for journal RSS feeds

This is not an immediately needed feature, but an idea to think about for the future.

Zotero could support journal RSS feeds. This would mean that there could be a new library type for RSS feeds and each feed could be a read-only collection within that library. Each collection would be linked to one RSS feed and the feed would be periodically checked for new items and the items would be translated as new Zotero items with attached PDFs. These RSS feeds could store the new items for a set time period or permanently.

This would have at least two use cases:
1) Not all researchers follow journal RSS feeds and if this feature would be easy to use, it would enable easy following of new publications.
2) If I was traveling, I could read recent articles in my favorite journals even if I did not have internet access.
