Would that be similar to each publisher adding a form on the page with a
'subscribe using [list of aggregators]'
The publisher's server could:
a) send the request on behalf of the user directly to the aggregator (don't
know how the user would be identified),
b) send a redirect response to the browser that then navigates to the
Web-based aggregator, the user then fills in something
c) send a response to the user with a Content-Type and body appropriate for
the client based aggregator service.

I don't know how your comment of 'the resultant post is to the local
resource' is done though.
