When I updated my feed generator to support atom[1], I just added the
RSS2.0 extension elements I was already generating, including
OpenSearch.  I don't know if any feed consumers actually support it in
atom of course...  I did noticed just now that OpenSearch 1.1 proposes
an OpenSearch autodiscovery mechanism (amongst other things).
