Looks like reddit also adds a description tag with a couple escaped anchor tag inside of it

google reader and their home page thing both show these links along with the main link.

edit: there was an example but it's getting destroyed. can I wrap code in something so it gets put in a pre? just go look at reddit's rss:

http://reddit.com/.rss

edit 2: while your making rss changes you could at a link tag to the head so browsers know the rss is there (replacing the "-lt-" and "-gt-"): -lt-link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="/rss" /-gt-
