This entire post has galvanized me to write up an idea I've been noodling over as I work on a reader myself: a standard that would eliminate precisely the waste you mention by specifying within the HTML all that's needed for a feed.
See https://sfeed.org. In the spirit of the multi-meaninged RSS acronym itself, the S might stand for scrape, selector, speed, or of course Scotty.
Vinni, might you be interested in enabling the standard in Feed Me Up?
