It turns out that it's a fair bit of work to extract the feed id from 
the html feed sent to a client, at least it appears to be to me. Given 
the general lack of verification that what the server serves as web 
pages is correct, I'm inclined to put off adding this as a test case 
until there's more infrastructure support for it and filing a bug noting 
that it needs to be fixed. Is that acceptable, or should I allocate time 
to add a test case?

Brock
