I'd see two privacy-related issues with putting the feed in a tiddler.
If I'm not mistaken:

1) That tiddler would have to be public for its address to be used as
a (no-pass-required) RSS feed. If it is tagged appropriately
(excludeLists, excludeSearch, what else?) it might be hard to find for
a human who wasn't give the address; but what about web crawlers?
2) Since feed generation has to be enabled, the default public feed
(foobar_public/etc.) would be generated besides the plugin-generated
feed tiddler. So even if the latter were well-hidden by itself it
would appear in this public feed, with all the (potentially originally
private) info in it.

If this is true I'm afraid I don't quite see the advantage of pre-
filtering by plugin as opposed to filtering as Chris described. May be
my myopia though.
