You sort of missed my point, I think, but we agree on desiring a way 
for a browser to find a feed.

My point here was being able to find THIS ONE ITEM in a feed.  
Presuming you're viewing a single item then the meta-data would 
indicate where to find this ONE item in a feed.  If you were looking 
at a number of items, a la Slashdot's opening screen, then you'd most 
likely want the entire feed (or just the currently view scope).

The missing link in my idea is that feeds don't generally support the 
idea of one item being located this way.  Take it one step further 
and give me a way to grab the XML data for the item instead of the 
HTML presentation.
