That's how I finally have it working now. By using a redirect.

If I can have a rule to rewrite /feed/(rss|atom|rdf|rss2) URLs to 
/?feed=<whatever> then can't I have a rule to rewrite /feed/<anything 
else> to /?feed=rss? Why would it not work? (I used /index.php in my 
example above, but I also tried with /?feed=rss and it didn't work).

Thanks,
