Simon says:

...DISCO is dead, and WSIL [which replaces it], uses a meta tag instead.

Thanks Simon. Looks like I’ve got some catching up to do.

But from the every cloud has a silver lining department, at least I learned how not to implement such a feature ;-)

Thinking out loud:

...What would be possible if everyone had a Backlink feature and the sites listed in the Backlink had an RSS link element...

...Wouldn’t it be helpful if Backlinks and channelrolls had standard formats?...

Mark has a comment and a suggestion:

...Specifying the location of your RSS feed in a standard machine-readable format would solve a real problem...

I agree. I shouldn’t need to know the URL of your RSS feed. It would be easier to find your feed if I only needed to know the URL of your homepage. And I don’t want to update my aggregator if you change the URL of your feed.

The only thing I would add is a title

Makes sense. Now I just need an aggregator that supports it ;-)
