This seems generally good, except:

The use of the heading levels is kind of strange; I'm not really sure why
you did it that way?  I'd rather this adhered to our normal hierarchy, so
it should be:

   RSS Configuration
   -----------------

All of the other bottom-level headings should be as well.

Fix that up, please, and I can take these.  The whole series can also be
squashed into a single patch (though I don't feel really strongly about
that either way).

Thanks,
