An RSS / Atom feed per tag

[galateus]

Title:
An RSS / Atom feed per tag

Area:
rss, tags

Summary:
Tag-specific RSS feeds would be more flexible than the current per-tag email notifications system, and let non-account-havers track things.

Description:
(Right now, when viewing a /tag/footag page, the little RSS icon in Firefox points to a generic feed for the whole community/journal. That's slightly unintuitive but also inspired this suggestion!)

The same use-case for per-tag Notifications applies to per-tag syndication: Wanting to keep up with a subset of a community/journal's posts without having to read through non-related topics.

The difference is that Atom/RSS would let us use feed aggregators instead of just our email clients. It'll also allow random Internet passers-by to track tagged entries without having to sign in or provide an email address or anything at all. (Which seems like a big plus point to me. There are probably other "feeds beat out circa-1999 subscription techniques" advantages I'm forgetting.)
