I aggree! One feature we were thinking of for NewsIsFree is letting
users building their own channel by selecting news items on the site.
The channel could be used on site as a kind of bookmark feature. But,
most interestingly, could be exported to an RSS file which RU could
monitor, so that the user could edit it there and republish it as
needed.

Would this be useful?

Of course, this could also be achieved by direct XML-RPC calls between
NewsIsFree and RU, but RSS if a little more ubiquitous right now (not
to mention all other export formats support by NewsIsFree, such as
JavaScript or plain HTML).
