Brent,
Thank you for your observations. They certainly appear to be valid.
I'm copying Matt with your suggestions.

Hello.
Considering that 67.2% of all statistics are made up on the spot,
about 2% of your visitors will use your feed. =)
Seriously, the number of people subscribing to your feed will vary
directly with who your audience is. Slashdot or Engadget are going
to have a lot more subscribers than a site that provides content to
the more technology-illiterate. RSS, however simple, is not
something that a typical email/browser/word-processor user is going
to know about, let alone use. It's like asking how many people
subscribe to a newspaper? Responsible adults that want to be
informed are your audience, not younger children or teenagers. If
you want to get a message out to one of these audiences, then you
need to change your delivery medium.
That being said, it would be wise to make your RSS feeds more
intuitive than "RSS 2.0" or "ATOM 0.3" by labeling them "Subscribe
to our news" or "Stay up to date on our latest products" and then,
for the more technically savvy, labeling them with the feed type.
Thanks,
Brent Anderson
