Apple is trying to patent RSS autodiscovery, aggregation, and reading lists

I'm not a lawyer, but these two patents by Apple sure look like they are claiming ownership of RSS autodiscovery, aggregating multiple RSS feeds into one, and automatically updated reading lists. Time for some real lawyers to step in and comment on this. John Palfrey, as the representative of Harvard's RSS copyright, what do you think?
