In each of the implementations I've built thus far, the APP collections feeds are also the subscription feeds. This will not hold true for all impl's tho. I don't think you can make any reasonable assumptions about what folks are going to subscribe to. If it's a feed, they'll likely point a feed reader at it at some point and hit the "subscribe" button.
