Hi folks,

We would like to offer push callbacks to our feeds without the notion
of a separately addressable hub.  So, for example, if we have an Atom
feed here:

  http://example.com/feed/

Then, one could subscribe to updates using the following:

  POST http://example.com/feed/
  params:
    hub.callback={callback_url}
    hub.mode=subscribe
    hub.topic=http://example.com/feed/
    hub.verify=async

Of course, the topic URL must always be the feed itself.  The "hub"
would never crawl out to some external feed, nor would publishers
necessarily need to notify the "hub" of changes, since the feed and
hub are one.

Is there an example of this approach in the wild?  Is this approach
discouraged in any way?

Thanks,
Justin
