We're calling these feeds, but are they really just compiled summary pages?

I'm viewing from my mobile, and had trouble loading the link in the article, and the above comments' links appear to be pages, not feeds.

Would streams be more accurate? It doesn't seem to imply RSS as much [to me at least].

[also, do any of the mentioned RSS aggregates include comments?]

Appendation: The feed link on the site's page didn't work, because of the unusual feed:// URI [ http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Feed_URI_scheme&#3... ]. Naturally my phone choked on this "resource".

Originally: feed://readablefeeds.appspot.com/readability/feed?url=http%3A//news.ycombinator.com/rss
