Actually, I think "start" is the best fit. The main feed is often not a table of contents to the entire weblog, but something partial. It is, however, the "starting point of the collection".
Actually, I disagree with start because of the first sentence in the HTML spec: "Refers to the first document in a collection of documents." This indicates that start should point to the first post in a weblog. end would be the most recent (not that end exists in the HTML spec)
I think "first" here should not be taken as chronological, but as foremost. This would make it consistent with the second sentence:
"This link type tells search engines which document is considered by the author to be the starting point of the collection." This is a completely different meaning and I'm not sure why it's bundled with the first. According to this, start pointing to the homepage is fine.
BTW, you might want to take a look at

No offense, but with all the tripod ads, I would have much preferred a link to the "Hypertext links in HTML" draft [1].
Sorry.
Section four is what I want. It's not indexed alphabetically and doesn't combine other documents, but it's the covers everything pretty well.

Not quite everything. Some of the values (like "start") are not covered in that draft.
