While 1.1 should have RSS *support*, there's no guarantee yet that
Camino will ever include RSS *reading*.

We then need to better define "support" and "reading." My
understanding is that RSS is a simple text list (in a specific
format) of "headlines" with maybe a one line description along with a
URL to read the full article. You "read" the articles in a browser
(i.e. NetNewWire provides it's own built-in browser). So it seems to
me there are a few things that Camino needs to do:
1. provide a large, updateable list of sites to subscribe to
2. provide some way to manage subscriptions
Or, one could do the <editorial comment>"Safari cop-out"</editorial
comment> and make the user go to the site, then read it's RSS feed.
If I'm already AT the NYTijmes web site, I can see what's available
right on there front page; what does then going to their RSS feed get
me that already isn't in front of my face? This seems to be a dead
simple thing to do...
Obviously, my hope would be to do something a lot better than that.
Frankly, if all that is planned is to ape Safari, then I would opine
it ain't worth precious development time.
