A wacky idea but what the heck



I've thought about an element for RSS that would really up the communication power, and make it a more viral format.
 
The story goes like this. Look at the left-edges of most weblogs. You'lll see a list of sites that for one reason or another the author has chosen to promote. These are intensely watched and intensely political spaces. We have a lot of fun with them.
 
Now, what if there were a way to introduce the same concept to RSS. (Or whatever you want to call it.)
 
A way to broadcast the existence of other sources in your source. Let other channels hitch a ride on yours.
 
The XML design for this would be trivial, and it would be interesting to do user interface(s) for the feature.
 
I was wondering what people thought..?
