Not only does the Firefox subscription mechanism work with other web clients, it supports desktop clients as well. It doesn't require registration with a centralised server, nor does it require websites to add a button to their page to enable subscription. In fact it's better than this proposal in every possible way. The real problem was that not many people cared to subscribe to feeds, so it was considered a waste of space to have on the toolbar by default. It's easy enough to add back though... http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-navigation-buttons-back-home-bookmarks http://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/customize-navigation-but...
