 Ahem. I'm still interested, sorry for the silence. :)

 I don't like this from a UX and publisher intent point of view. Feeds are
 about syndicating content not drawing people back into the site (no matter
 how much some publishers might want that); if you want to draw people back
 into the site then don't show full content in your feeds.

 > Page3 Content ..
 > }}}

 I feel this is diluting the content in the feed without adding significant
 advantage. I prefer showing the whole post (if show full text in feed is
 selected).
