Just looking at that example, it seems to me that an aggregator that implements Microsoft's simple list extensions would get a full-featured representation of that feed without having to know anything at all about feed rank and feed history. So why bother with them?
I'm sure you can come up with cases which couldn't be handled perfectly by SLE (which I'd be the first to admit is a pretty lousy spec), but it's out there now and it more or less works. Does feed rank really offer you so much more that it justifies a competing extension?

Just a quick heads up. To illustrate a simple example of feed rank bein used, I put together an xslt that renders my Netflix Queue as an Atom feed using the feed rank, feed history and MSFT simple list extensions. http://tinyurl.com/nxzgh
