I guess what I'm saying is that we seem to have enough problems with channels 
as lists of items to also take on an entirely different task.

But isn't each of your subscriptions the URL of a channel (with an optional 
site element)?
This way, it is indeed a list of channels, a list that is not related to the 
feed itself (which is not on the channel list!).

I realize that for the simple case of a persons blogroll, it makes more sense 
to have a channel list associated with a single feed, but I still feel that 
the blogroll should be kept separate from the feed, especially since more and 
more blogs are sectioned/categorized, with individual feeds for each category.


BTW: I don't know how much you have to do with it, but the web.resource.org 
web site is very slow these days, is it OK?
