I think the standard answer to that would be “use HTTP authentication instead of cookies.” Many aggregators support subscribing to HTTP-authenticated feeds. (I don’t know if most do, but I assume so.) Then when generating returning a feed to a client, weave the client’s supplied auth info into the alternate links, and accept HTTP auth on those pages in addition to cookies. That would work out of the box. For cookie-based auth, there is no existing approach, and I doubt that one would get significant traction anytime soon.
