2. If framed page add link to rss.
Actual Results:

Amusingly enough, at first (bug 274915) we unintentionally didn't discover them in frames, which people didn't like, then (bug 305472) we unintentionally did discover them in frames, which people didn't like, now (this bug) we unintentionally don't discover them in frames, which people don't like.

  I don`t think there is real objection to showing rss-feeds from sub-frames as long as we annotate it with the sub-frame uri if there should be multiple sub-frames.
  On the other hand if we do only have one sub-frame the site is using URL-Framing instead of an DNS-redirect: no popup menu needs to be shown; rss and ico <link rel=icon/shortcut icon> should be drawn from the only sub-frame.
