It is appropriate to again thank Damien for this. This sort of open communication between vendors and libraryfolk serves the interests of both, and his willingness to do this will always positively color my perception of the Scopus team at Elsevier.  Marketing, PR, and Sales: Please take note of this.

RSS feeds spread the word and generate interest and garner subscribers. Elsevier should set up RSS feeds to its tables of contents forthwith. Its secrecy is antiquated and only hurts it as a business. Many libraries subscribe to many of Elsevier’s incredibly expensive journals but have no money left over for its other incredibly expensive products, like Scopus. How can librarians alert medical providers to interesting publications such as many of Elsevier’s are if they have no RSS feeds? Get with it, Elsevier. Your secrecy is only feeding the open access movement.
