Thanks for taking an interest in my suggestion!  What I had in mind 
were LiveJournal RSS feeds, which generally hide friends-only posts.  
When "?auth=digest" is added to the RSS URL, however, the friends-
only posts are visable upon entry of a valid username and password.  A 
standard username/password dialog pops up in the browser.  Other 
password-protected RSS feeds iinclude some Feedburner ones, which 
can be made to be password protected.  I believe the latter work the 
same way.  The password-protected feeds are compatible with RSS-
compatible browsers like Apple's Safari as well as dedicated Windows 
readers such as FeedDemon and Shrook.  Thanks again!  It would be 
very useful for a group's phpWebSite that aggregates members' blogs.

I'll take a look at this for the next release. Thanks for
pointing this out. Can you give more information on how it
is password protected. Also, what clients read these feeds?

Wendall
