+If RSS and Atom are enabled by default, the [[plugins/contrib/comments]] plugin generates a feed, perhaps `/sandbox/index.atom` for comments on the sandbox. If a blog is added to the page, the blog will steal the name `/sandbox/index.atom` and the comments plugin's feed will change to `/sandbox/index.atom2`.
+
+If `\[[!inline]]` gained a parameter `feedname` or something, the comments plugin could use `feedname=comments` to produce `/sandbox/comments.atom` instead (this would just require minor enhancements to rsspage(), atompage() and targetpage()).
+
+As a side benefit, [my blog](http://smcv.pseudorandom.co.uk/) could go back to its historical Atom feed URL of `.../feed.atom` (which is currently a symlink to `index.atom` :-) )
+
+On sites not using `usedirs` the current feed is `/sandbox.atom`, and we could perhaps change it to `/sandbox-comments.atom` or `/sandbox/comments.atom` if `feedname=comments` is given.
