Why is it useful for a browser to make a list of a bunch of random feeds 
that have no relation to one another or to the current page?

A list of feeds *for the current page* I can see a use for (that little 
orange RSS icon on my browser's toolbar), but for links to other "feeds" 
a list inside the page itself is perfectly adequate, especially if that 
link actually links to an HTML document that *itself* declares a the 
feed as a <LINK>.

Currently the orange RSS icon means "Subscribe to this page". This is a 
lot more useful (in my opinion) than it meaning "subscribe to some 
random thing".
