Replying to [comment:1 lukeplant]:
> Yes, I believe it is impossible to reverse URLs defined only by a
callable in the template. The solution is to either:

this case if you do something like `codereview_feeds =
codereview.feeds.AllFeed()` in the relevant views.py. Or:
I need to refer to codereview.feeds.AllFeed() from base template, which is
inherited by many views. Cooking this variable in every view is ugly.
> 2) Give your URL a name.
That's also ugly, because it duplicates the code for every view. I looked
at the code that does URL reversing and IMO it is overarchitectured, so I
am not surprised you're not too enthusiastic to support that.
BTW, I am not the first to ask about reverse URLs for syndication
