Is the exact behavior documented? I can't reproduce "downloading each and every
RSS feed that it can find" with Safari 5.0.5; it doesn't seem to fetch
autodiscovered feeds until I explicitly request them by clicking on the RSS
icon.

There are options to 'fetch updates' automatically for RSS items in bookmarks
bar or whole bookmarks menu, but it looks like this will only apply if you've
bookmarked the feed, not if you've bookmarked a page that happens to have a
feed on it. On the other hand it might. :)  Waiting 30 mins to see what
happens...


On the block itself; it looks like when you hit a feed, Safari does two hits:
first as itself (regular Safari UA string), then again as Apple-PubSub. If it's
the second one we're blocking, then I guess Safari's only using the first
download to confirm it's a feed and then passes the URL off to its feed reader
submodule to fetch again and process, where it dies.

It'd be nice if we can make sure a sane error message makes it back, but not
sure if that's feasible.
