RSS is already the federated version. ??? Or did you mean something like feedtree https://web.archive.org/web/20130104173140/http://www.feedtr...

RSS is a one-way communication channel publisher -> reader which isn't a context where the concept of federation make any sense.

You can aggregate feeds, not federate them.

Why federate it? With RSS it can be individually hosted and owned, adding a federation layer would actually make it more centralized.
