I am aware of the active bookmarks, but wondering if the link will serve to
confuse users. 

I don't know much about web programming, but perhaps those rss links can be
made hidden? Just as reference, on www.nedit.org, the rss link is not visible
on browser:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
  <title>NEdit - the multi-purpose X Window System editor</title>
  <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-15">
  <link rel="icon" href="nedit.ico" type="image/x-icon">
  <link rel="shortcut icon" href="nedit.ico" type="image/x-icon">
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="/style.css" type="text/css" title="plain">
  <link rel="alternate" title="NEdit RSS"
href="http://www.nedit.org/rss/news.xml" type="application/rss+xml">
</head>

<body>
