I'd like to suggest that we start thinking about the next level of RSS
Auto-Discovery.  I've written up some initial thoughts and rationale
here:

Do others think this would be helpful and relatively easy to spec out
and implement.  Are there other (better) ideas floating around?  I've
not seen much discussion on the topic...
I guess I'm not sure how this would work for sites that host many individual blogs. Would each blog have their own OPML file or would it be a site wide thing, or does it matter? Of your two thoughts (a file at a specific place or a link tag), I'd definitely vote for the link tag.

While we're on the subject, it'd be nice to have a standard, machine readable way for people to specify their blogroll. We'd love to be able to display someone's blogroll along with their syndicated items in Bloglines. I have seen some people specify an OPML file for their blogroll using a <link> tag, but I'm unaware of any standard for this.

Thanks,

Mark
