Since we have to configure this on the back end (i.e., visitors cannot
arbitrarily add a feed, they have to ask us to add it for them) we can
be reasonably certain of our sources -- since those sources will be
(a) other user groups, and (b) people we generally know, I doubt we'll
have a problem with a "malicious" feed. [and if we do, we can pretty
much track it down and nail the perp...]
