Using Blogdigger to create custom category RSS feeds

I love the Inkernets.  Just the other day I helped Richard with something, and now he goes and posts this.  I suspect it may have been Carolyn who put the category RSS bug in both our ears.  Freakishly coincidental is the fact that not 3 hours ago I was poking at Feedburner to see if I could get it to do this exact same thing!  (it can't).

What else could I run them through ;-)
