Safari and autodetection of RSS feeds

This is something that sounds hackable at the least.  Brent, could something like this be done with WebKit's tools (asking out of ignorance)?

What if Safari detected RSS feeds?. Here's an idea for Safari: Many web sites/pages now offer an RSS feed equivalent of their contents, not unlike this weblog! As RSS is getting more and more popular, it would be cool if Safari would detect the presence of an RSS feed (through the tag) and activate a UI element on its toolbar that the user could use to drag to their favorite news reading program .... Say, NetNewsWire.
