Can't use urlresolvers.reverse() during Feed initialization

Description

To provide a link attribute to Feed subclasses, django.core.urlresolvers.reverse can't be used to provide that value, since Feed instances are created during URLConf initialization, so there is nothing to reverse yet. To use resolve to retrieve this value, a link(self) method must be used, so reverse is called after URLConf init. This circular dependency is likely to be hard to solve, but at least must be documented, since no errors than NoReverseMatch are thrown.
