Currently it's only a static list (the 3 test entries do nothing useful), but I only wanted to use it as a test if the feed handling out of the browser works the same on Fremantle as on Diablo.

The next step is to refactor the app to allow the list to grow as we install capable apps. I'll try to find the authors of feed readers from Maemo.org apps and contact them to discuss what their requirements are and design something based on that.

Sure thing. Actually, having "feedhandler" as the name of the package is okay already, and the only UI that the app has (the "Choose which app to open this feed with") is probably going to not really require any name (so that it appears as a natural extension to the browser/feed readers.
