There's a difference between importing OPML into a reader and subscribing to it.

We call them reading lists.

I'm looking for an excuse to bring it back, but first we need a base of shared feed lists. </p>\n<p>A lot of good stuff can be done if feed readers are willing to delegate list management to other services. IMHO the only reason a reader developer <i>wouldn't</i> do it is because they want to lock users in.
