Somehow a journal that stopped publishing in 1996 or 2000 doesn't seem very feed-worthy. (Most of the ones I encountered were for ScienceDirect journals; publisher-initiated updates aren't all they're cracked up to be if the publisher is creating feeds across the board, regardless of whether there's any new content to feed.)
