How about:
- Description: A URI that refers to a feed document containing a
set of the most recent entries in the feed. This URI is intended to
be subscribed to to keep abreast of recent changes in the feed; when
different from the URI of the document where it occurs, it indicates
that its value should be used for this purpose in place of the
current document's URI. For example, an archived feed document might
contain a "subscribe" relation that points to the subscription feed's
location, so that clients subscribe to the appropriate link. Note
that the "self" relation was designed for a similar purpose, but is
not suitable for that use in other feeds, whereas this relation can
be used in those situations.

Any suggestions?
Yes. Acknowledge the specific case of an archival feed, an example
is worth a thousand words.
And discuss why this exist when Atom already has <link rel="self",
specifically designed to support auto-subscribe. -Tim
