Automatic RSS Detection

Hello FreeBSD-doc,

Please consider modifying your website to allow browsers to auto-discover 
RSS feeds.  Mozilla Firefox has a feature called Live Bookmarks where RSS 
feed functionality is actually built right into the bookmark manager. 
Opera, and I believe Safari are implementing RSS auto-discovery as well.

It's really simple to do.  The tag goes in the head section with your 
other 'link's and will end up looking something like this:

  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="FreeBSD Project 
News" href="/news/news.rdf" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="FreeBSD Security 
Advisories" href="/security/advisories.rdf" />

I look forward to being able to syndicate FreeBSD.org from right within 
Firefox.
