Now - this leads me to wonder whether Drupal authentication and Basic Authentication might be combined somehow - or possibly have a separate page controlled by basic authentication which is internally proxied to the Drupal RSS page.

IMO we should just wait for RSS readers to become a bit smarter and use cookies etc. Akrgegator uses KDEs authentication, session/cookie system and it works Just Fine. Firefox (afaik the most used rss reader) uses its sessions too, which leaves us with web-based readers that cannot log in. And thunderbird. Maybe we should lay some more pressure on thunderbird instead? And on the web-based readers to provide session based, ordinary web logins? Bèr
