I'd just like to point out that this is not a new feature. Any half-decent aggregator already does this for you with grouped feeds. For example, in NetNewsWire, you can click on folder.
"Planet" feeds simulate this feature badly due to limitations in existing formats, but users like them because it eliminates lots of clerical work.

+1 Eric. "sub-feeds" can easily be "nested" by reference using the existing link mechanism as opposed to nesting by containment. Overall this would be a cleaner model and would be easier on bandwidth by allowing nested feeds to be broken up over several documents rather than stuffed all into a single document.
Yes, sub-feeds can be nested by reference. Whether or not it's a net-win is probably variable.

Yes, feeds are entries.
