Florent, As per the spec, to be pubsubhubbub enabled, the feeds need to point to a hub. How would you know which hub to subscribe to if the feed doesn't indicate?
Some services, including http://superfeedr.com/ (which I created) do work as default hubs : whatever URL you subscribe to, they will poll the content and push it to you. , and a bunch of our customers use Google News feeds. I hope this helps.
