Dave Winer thinks that publishers have a problem with old/stale feeds - how to do a server based opt out:

A perennial problem with RSS is how does the publisher force an unsubscribe? Shouldn't the publisher have the right to opt-out? Right now there is no mechanism that's broadly supported by aggregators.

There's a simple way to deal with that, covered in the http specs - return a 410 (Gone). BottomFeeder will mark a feed as inactive (i.e., stop checking it), and warn the user that it's been marked Gone by the server if they try to re-activate it. This is not a hard thing...
