What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create an RSS feed that has a LINK tag identifying a SUP provider, like
http://workbench.cadenhead.org/files/rss-sup-example.xml.
2. Try to validate this feed in the Feed Validator: http://feedvalidator.org/ 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It fails with a "channel contains more than one link" error, since neither
RSS format permits multiple link elements.

A solution that would work for both Atom and RSS is to identify a SUP
provider with a namespace element, like this:

<rss xmlns:sup="http://friendfeed.com/api/sup/">
<channel>
<sup:provider href="http://friendfeed.com/api/sup.json#53924729"
type="application/json" />

I'm the chairman of the RSS Advisory Board. To discuss this issue, you can
contact us at rssboard.org or on the mailing list RSS-Public at
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-public

really not important, though it got me confused for a second as I figured
mysite.com is some kind of service connected to this

It might be nice to have a namespace for RSS 1.0, too.

We use RSS 1.0 as the primary RSS feed for Identi.ca. We have Atom and RSS
2.0 feeds, too, but it'd be nice to have a way to add it for 1.0, too (and
have that working inside FF).
