The feed URI scheme was invented to deal with the problem of mainstream browsers spewing XML when a user clicked a link to a feed.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that the feed URI scheme was never a perfect solution to feed subscription, especially since clicking a feed:// link would cause the browser to display a cryptic error message when no application was associated with feed://.
Even worse, I often see RSS and Atom feeds which contain the same content yet identify posts differently (i.e.: the GUID for a post in the RSS feed is different from the ID of the same post in the Atom feed).

 The feed URI scheme (PRE-DRAFT)
If the "feed" URI string begins with the string 'feed://' then it MUST be followed by an authority with optional path and query string with the scheme for the URI for accessing the data feed being inferred as the "http" scheme.
The feed URI syntax is primarily dependent on the scheme used to retrieve the data feed over the network.
The "feed" URI scheme is not limited to identifying the aforementioned XML-based file formats but can and should be used to identify other network retrievable resources used to syndicate information from a particular news source.
