Hmmm, do we actually need ocs, opml, or whatever for this? Can we do it
with html docs that have a head and no body. eg:-

/index.htm
<html>
 <head>
  <link rel="meta" type="http://footypes.com/index/"
        dc:title="Site meta list" href="http://foo.bar/meta.htm" />
 </head>
 <body>
   My Index Page text, etc, etc, etc.
 </body>
</html>

/meta.htm
<html>
 <head>
  <link rel="alternate" type="http://footypes.com/rss092/"
        dc:title="My 0.92 feed" href="http://foo.bar/indexRss92.xml" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="http://footypes.com/rss10/"
        dc:title="My 1.0 feed" href="http://foo.bar/indexRss10.rdf" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="http://footypes.com/rss20/"
        dc:title="My 2.0 feed" href="http://foo.bar/indexRss20.xml" />
  <link rel="alternate" type="http://footypes.com/atom/"
        dc:title="My Atom feed" href="http://foo.bar/indexAtom.xml" />
  <link rel="foaf" type="application/rdf+xml"
        dc:title="My foaf" href="http://foo.bar/foaf.rdf" />

  ...repeat...

 </head>
</html>

I guess /meta.htm could optionally have a <body> with an html display of
the same thing for humans.

Aside: metatypes.com doesn't appear to have been taken. How about a wiki
namespace where anyone can create, change or update entries in a common
namespace? Or does that already exist somewhere?
