However, many of today’s intermediaries require that program participants manage a “base” feed on their own sites that is later copied to the intermediary. This is the approach taken by FeedBurner among others. Whether or not the intermediaries require that a feed be maintained on the site, this is usually required if only because there will be people who are reading the feed and there is no means to notify them, within the feed, that a new “preferred” source of the feeds is available.Why can't they use an HTTP redirect like everyone else? They can then publish the base feed from a private address.
