>This is a good idea, and I want to do this too, but XML-based feeds are read-only.
You can have all of those things, AND have RSS. Reddit does it (stick .rss or .atom at the end of any subreddit's URL and you'll get the index of the subreddit in RSS format.) RSS in the end is just a standard content-type to represent the site with. Just like how browsers speak HTTP, newsreaders speak RSS/Atom+XML. It's just one of many features to support.

You could also have the site automatically pull in RSS feeds from other places, solving your API problem (and this is what RSS Planets do!) People who want to make their site's content available on the aggregator can submit an upstream RSS feed that your platform then consumes and republishes for everyone to see- this is in fact the point of RSS but it is an underutilized case that never gained any traction, I think because copyright license nightmares.

Reddit originally was meant to serve this function- both RSS and Reddit were partly made by the same person; the late Aaron Swartz. The site went corporate and he quit, then died before he could realize any of it.

Thanks! I'm used to Kareha, so I'm right at home.
