An RSS "feed://...." string is a URL, isn't it?

Correct.

But if I create an NSURLRequest from one, and from it an NSURLConnection, it
immediately sends a message to my delegate method
connection:didFailWithError, giving error -1002 "unsupported URL". It seems
to barf as soon as it sees the scheme "feed"; it doesn't even try to find
the server.

IIRC, NSURLConnection & NSURLDownload only support http, https, and ftp.

The existence of "Safari RSS" proves that someone at Apple has done this.
Is there a new class that I can't find? I've been searching docs for
several hours and have learned a lot, but not what I need here.

The "feed" URL is similar to "http" except that it points out that the object it is pointing to is an RSS feed, so the URL is intended to be loaded by an RSS client instead of by a Web browser. Safari 2 just happens to be both.
