I apologize for being a bit dense, but I'm trying to wrap my head
around the sentence
"Its purpose is to allow processes to register with a cloud to be
notified of updates to the channel, implementing a lightweight
publish-subscribe protocol for RSS feeds."
When they say "cloud" do they just mean a program running on a server?

<cloud> sub-element of <channel>
<cloud> is an optional sub-element of <channel>.
It specifies a web service that supports the rssCloud interface which
can be implemented in HTTP-POST, XML-RPC or SOAP 1.1.
Its purpose is to allow processes to register with a cloud to be
notified of updates to the channel, implementing a lightweight
publish-subscribe protocol for RSS feeds.
<cloud domain="rpc.sys.com" port="80" path="/RPC2"
registerProcedure="myCloud.rssPleaseNotify" protocol="xml-rpc" />
In this example, to request notification on the channel it appears in,
you would send an XML-RPC message to rpc.sys.com on port 80, with a
path of /RPC2. The procedure to call is myCloud.rssPleaseNotify.
