Feed discovery only works while being on a HTML site which actively publishes the feed with the <link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" .../>-Tag.

When being on an ATOM 1.0 feed itself (xml-site), though the atom feed contains an <link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" .../> tag, it will not be found by channel discovery of SAGE.

I think it would improve the application handling to be able to discover the current site as feed also, because the user might have come to the feed not via SAGE but via a direct link.
