I did discover recently, though, that it's not as easy as I'd like to automatically discover the feeds available. I.e., Drupal needs a better way to add in elements to the it generates. Alas! It's interesting, though, that this sort of thing is popping up in more and more discussions in different areas. I suspect that our recent conversation with Bill and D'Arcy touches on this, yes?. I think we're hitting the limits of RSS. I've been mulling a blog post about this...the core idea of it is that RSS is designed for pushing _documents_ around, but we've now got so many documents being pushed around that we need something to organize and filter them. That's not about the document per se, that's about the data, and I don't think RSS is optimally designed to handle that.
