The second patch, ‘inline: improve feed title and description
management’, aligns feed title and description management by introducing
a `title` option to complement `description`, and by basing the
metadata, we use a user-configurable default based on both the page
title and wiki name rather than hard-coding the wiki name as description.

The third patch, ‘inline: allow assigning an id to postform/feedlink’,
does just that. I don't currently use it, but it can be particularly
useful in the postform case for example for scriptable management of
multiple postforms in the same page.

In one of my wiki setups I had a terminating '/' in `$config{url}`. You
mention that it should not be present, but I have not seen this
requirement described anywhere. Rather than restricting the user input,
I propose a patch that prevents double slashes from appearing in links
created by `urlto()` by fixing the routine itself.

The inline plugin is also updated (in a separate patch) to use `urlto()`
rather than hand-coding the feed urls. You might want to keep this
change even if you discard the urlto patch.
