Description:
If I'm on a "revision history" page such as http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toaster&action=history and click the feed button, I get a list that includes both feeds for this page and feeds for changes throughout Wikipedia. I'm much more likely to want the feed for this page -- if I wanted the firehose, I'd go to RecentChanges first and click the feed icon there.

that includes both feeds for this page and feeds for changes throughout Wikipedia.

Still correct:
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="&quot;Toaster&quot; Atom feed" href="/w/index.php?title=Toaster&amp;feed=atom&amp;action=history" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Wikipedia Atom feed" href="/w/index.php?title=Special:RecentChanges&amp;feed=atom" />

But I don't see the problem with that?

The problem is that it adds a (confusing) step when trying to subscribe to a page's revision history.

Quiddity subscribed.

Afaict, that second link is no longer part of the page.
