The Case for RSS
Hell, just finding the RSS feed on some sites is like going on a scavenger hunt. I really wish the html spec itself had a standardized way of defining the rss file for a site, like they do for favicon.

It does. In the HEAD, LINK tags with REL="alternate" and TYPE="application/rss+xml" (or "atom" instead of "rss").

I use the RSS feed finder user script. If it really can't find it, I use the feed autodetect bookmarklet. Both work well for me.

Don't sites put it in the HTML meta headers anymore? This is then picked up by the browser and displayed under the feed icon/menu.
