I just did a Google search for "addchannel.tmpl". This is the
Netscape URL behind the "Add this Site to My Netscape" button.

	http://www.google.com/search?q=addchannel.tmpl&hl=en&lr=&safe=off

It came up with 268 sites. Given that the "service=" attributes
of these links have large values (some in the 2000 range), this
is clearly finding but a few sites.

Hmmm -- instead of trying to come up with a canonical list of
sites, perhaps we could come up with a meta-submission facility
like those "submit your site to 200 search engine" sites that
were popular for a while. This facility could send RSS URLs to
My Netscape, Userland, me, xmlTree, and so forth.

They're all at:

http://dmoz.org/Netscape/My_Netscape_Network/

but they link to the My.Netscape sign-up page, not the actual RSS file.
However, this will give you an idea of what RSS files exist, even if it
doesn't make it so easy for you to get at them.
