Eventually, it should be smart enough that if you give it just the URL to a feed, it will go a fetch a reasonably sanitized version of the articles.

EDIT: Oh and I forgot that it will have links at the end of each article back to the table of contents
All of that sounds really cool. A link to the table of contents, in particular, seems like a no brainer, but I never thought of it. It would be nice if the link would bring you to the contents of the current rss feed (and not the first level table of contents). That way if you're reading say international news, you can stay in that section.
