RSS Autodiscovery

From the fertile mind of Mark Pilgrim, an idea for getting RSS aggregators to automatically discover a site's RSS feed by using the link tag in HTML. This site is now using it and you should too. I am also considering taking a shot at something along the lines of the Mozilla sidebar Mark mentions. Good project to learn how to write sidebars, I think. OTOH, why not just write a aggregator that works in the sidebar? That woud be cool...

Important note: the standard for RSS LINK tags has changed. Please update your template.

Isn't it fun being an early adopter? :)
