Sorry, I should amend that: feats using new mechanics not derived from the SRD may be closed.
But isn't the very idea of a FEAT a mechanic that is derived from the SRD?
Well, earliest use of the term for a special power your character has that i'm aware of is Marvel Superheroes. And, apparently, the specific mechanism (gained with level increases, etc.) in D&D3E is pretty much taken from an identical mechanism in RMSS. So, in short, no. I'd say the concept of feats, as presented in D&D3E, predates D&D3E, and thus can't be derived from the D20SRD.
