Glad to hear someone else thinks it’s an idea worth doing, and not just me 😃
On the feeds thing: I’d thought about doing a "last N items" list on the directory entry for a site, but that was likely to be a later addition… and I’m not sure if the extra processing necessary to poll feeds would be offset by the value added.
At the very least I was planning to include links to any detected feeds (found through rel="alternative" links), and a flag to say if a microformats-based feed was detected during the initial parsing.
You are right that it’s worth holding onto the domain, just in case the stars align. I’ve just renewed it.
