Feed discovery is step 1.
Step 2 is probably to have a "reverse" discovery mechanism. Each feed (RSS or Atom) as a link to an HTML representation. So, even if the other discovery part is missing you can still find a feed URL from a site if you have that 2nd relation... Combine that with user data (number of subscribers... etc) and you get a pretty good solution!
Step 3 is "dumb" search: each story in a feed has a link to domain. The feed itself has a domain. If they both match, you likely have found the feed you're looking for!
There are probably other techniques too :)
