Thank you for these warnings!

Am not sure of all the implications of the security issues you mention, but - since the above code contained links which would evoke HTTP_REFERER, I disabled the script.

The bulk of my actual intent was to use the RSS scripts under privatized servers, so only trusted content would be fed to the aggregator. But these issues with public content are good to know, as there's always the want for greater inclusion.

If anyone wishes to further comment, then please feel free to do so. I'm still not sure of how the HTTP_REFERER could be traced, but looking into it now. Anyway, the script link above will not work - though the question is still held open for comment.
