RSS subscription stats?

You can tell how many times it get hit, but not how many subscribers, due to the fact that it is anonymous.  And you can't rely on hits to determine viewers.  Part of the problem lies in the fact that some online newreader websites will hit your feed once, but cache the results and show it to possibly thousands of viewers.  But it is a good indication on whether people are reading your feed or not.

What is often more useful to track is how many people click the link in the feed to read the whole post, assuming you don't put the whole post in the feed.
