A few patches to clean up and improve feed management for inline pages.

+
+* the (now second) patch passes uses the included rather than the including page for the URL. This is

+ included rather than the including page, and it's only relevant for nested inline pages.

+ >> an inline instruction. Then my index.mdwn inlines `dir[123]`. Without these two patches, the

+
+* the (new) fourth patch introduces a `feedtitle` parameter to override the feed title. I opted for
+ not squashing it with the second patch to allow you to scrap this but still get the other, in case

+
+ >> I'll rework the patch to that effect.
+
+* a fifth patch introduces an `id` parameter to allow setting the HTML id attribute in the
+ blogpost/feedlinks template. Since we replace their id with a class (first patch), this brings
+ back the possibility for direct CSS customization and JavaScript manipulation based on id.
+
+ > That sort of makes sense, but it somehow seems wrong that "id" should
