Description
Atom feeds should have a self-referential link element. It should point to the (canonical) request URL, to enable the feed to be located by clients that only have access to the feed's content, and no other meta-data such as location.

<link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="http://example.org/feed.atom"/>
Is there an easier way to allow problems such as this and #787 (both of which are optional according to the spec) to be dealt with by authors rather than the framework? I'd deal with it myself, but (a) I don't want to dig into the low-level framework unnecessarily and (b) I can't see how with the high-level Feed() stuff.

I'll also note that the bug was fixed 15 minutes *before* you filed the ticket.
Django: It solves your problems before they're even reported!
Fixed in [1227].
As to your other comment -- yes, we should add extra hooks so developers can add this sort of stuff on their own.
