It certainly worked in December, and I believe some of January, but I cannot say for sure when it stopped working.

The URL that one will *eventually* end up at by following the ``application/rss+xml`` link is https://ssl.reddit.com/login.rss?dest=%2Fsaved%2F.rss but that URL is returning a valid RSS document but with no entries in it. Based on the title ("reddit: the front page of the internet" instead of the previous "reddit - mdaniel - saved stories"), it is not even trying to find my saved stories.

It returns this entry-less document regardless of whether one is logged in or not.

While this may be a separate issue, that "eventually" word above is a problem, too. The ``application/rss+xml`` declares the link to be http://www.reddit.com/saved/.rss but that link yields a series of 302 redirects that result in the ssl URL above. Why not just change the link href to point to the correct destination?
