There are two ways to approach this. The first is to create the RSS document dynamically on request. The second is to write to a static file when a relevant change happens. The latter is faster, but requires a call to update the feed in (likely) many places vs. just one.

With both methods, while you could edit the document with only the changes, it's much simpler to just rewrite the whole document every time with the most recent (10-50) items.
