A list of feeds *for the current page* I can see a use for (that little orange RSS icon on my browser's toolbar), but for links to other "feeds" a list inside the page itself is perfectly adequate, especially if that link actually links to an HTML document that *itself* declares a the feed as a <LINK>. Currently the orange RSS icon means "Subscribe to this page". This is a lot more useful (in my opinion) than it meaning "subscribe to some random thing".
