    That's the feature I can't live without. Many of my feeds are from closed site.

    And I believe it is at least technically possible.

    Details:
    Cached items of google reader can be accessed without auth, like
    > http://www.google.com/reader/public/atom/feed/http://www.digg.com/rss/index.xml
    And a few non-offical GR api uses this as well.

    I myself tried download all the xml cross-site-ly by
    - a reverse proxy elsewhere
    - or browser extension ( the chrome version : http://jokester.github.io/feedzombie/ )

    BUT in either way, google would start to ask for recaptcha, after hundreds of requests.

    Given a central server to submit to, maybe we get them all in a crowd-sourcing way.
