Given that drupal allows me to create any URL alias that tickles my fancy, where do I place RSS feeds?

]]> I'm wrestling with a tiny problem, but it's sticky and needs to get decided soon. Given that drupal allows me to create any URL alias that tickles my fancy, where do I place RSS feeds?

Current parameters:

  1. There will be a main page for feeds, listing all available feeds, at /feeds
  2. There will be a main page for blogs, listing all available blogs, at /blogs

Now, given an example blog -- let's call it Eclectic -- where should its feed live?

  1. /blogs/eclectic/feed (implies that an all-blogs feed would be at /blogs/feed)
  2. /feeds/blogs/eclectic (implies that an all-blogs feed would be at /feeds/blogs)

It's a site-philosophy question, when you think about it. Should I treat RSS feeds like their own entities deserving of their own directories (option 2), or are they just offshoots of an already-existing directory (option 1)?

I can have either, and it's just a matter of which alias I type in, but once I make this decision I'm stuck with it down the road.
