Hi, I think you're right, archive.org will only generate a media feed w/ 
enclosures based on collection or mediatype, from what i've seen.  
someone should convince them to add rss feeds for keyword etc.

on the other hand, generating this feed is something some other site can 
easily do while using archive.org as a backend storage engine (e.g. 
ourmedia.org)
