Does RSS bleed PageRank?

Will having (several) RSS feeds on my site bleed PageRank? I've seen Google index feeds that were only linked in via <link> tags (ie, not <a>), and I'm concerned that if I have several, it will dilute the PR to other links.

Will rel=nofollow help? What if I do <a rel=nofollow>?

As an aside, what is the best way to support multiple feeds? Will browser's highlight in the toolbar the first one listed?

I would imagine that RSS feeds are treated like other pages, in that the more links you have on a particular page, the less "weight" is given to each one. Assuming these RSS feeds link back to your own site, then the PR that was transfered to them should flow back to the pages they are linking to. This is just my guess though.

Does anyone know if using rel=nofollow is good for this?
