Hmmm.... let me see if i understand this....   As a surfer my browser is pointed
to some page that designates its RSS feed with this HEAD tag.   I see a button
on the page.   The piece of information that is missing is the URI of the blog
space where the feed is to be added.   How does the process under the button get
that piece of information ?

... or did i totally miss something ?

still in a fog here ....
