Most elegant solution is Opera implementation [1] - a simple feed icon is displayed in the address bar if <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="http://www.example.com/rss /> is in the <head> section.

Other thing is dicoverability of that icon and learning what it does.

[1] I think Firefox does that too.

What's a "Feed icon" ? Ask someone around you who is not a geek to show you the "feed icon".

Well, that's a problem of discoverability - it seems that browsers try to hide that icon e.g. Firefox removed it and you need extension for chrome to show it.

All browsers do that when you have a registered RSS reader, right? I stopped using RSS a long time ago (encourages procrastination for me) so I might be wrong here.
