This one could easily be implemented by scanning the OEIS once
a day for the date tags and storing it as another HTML file at some
AT&T  URL---which is the version which minimizes band with and computational
expenses. The output could look like
http://www.strw.leidenuniv.nl/~mathar/progs/oeisCLog.html
which is a snapshot taken 2009-02-01 logging 8 days of history,
supposed lines are dumped without further beautification.
