RSS by itself tells me nothing if I never heard of the concept, where "Web Feed" for example would've already tickled my mind and my interest. To be quite franc, I have never cared to hear about it until recently. I have so many of these acronyms / short names (java, jsp, j2ee, xslt, css, tld, swt, sql, oodb, struts, etc etc) to toy with it's just crazy... When I hear some new word come out often in web conversations (forums, etc) I often think oh god another buzzword :) I just wait a couple months to see if it sticks around then I'll give it consideration hehe. So I'm all for a more user-friendly web. The technology's awesome, simplicity / readability is a quality too often overlooked. Yes!
