Beautiful.

We already have one, the Radio outliner, but there should be quite a few
ways of doing it.

Here's the OPML source for the left-edge links on Scripting News.

Note that they are not links to RSS files, they link to HTML renderings.

I don't yet have my list of related RSS feeds, but if this idea catches on,
I will.
