If you pull the latest Venus, the support should now be there.  You 
still need a configuration file, and you can put whatever you want in 
that configuration file, however what you can now do is add something 
like the following in that configuration file to pull in your subscriptions:

[http://spreadsheets.google.com/pub?key=p-hC6jVAyS8mYXZqf5lboKw&output=csv]
content_type = csv

Notes: the name of the first column doesn't matter, that column will be 
the section name (which generally means the URI of the feed).  The 
remaining column names are used to determine the option name.  It can be 
name, face, ignore_in_feed, or whatever you like.  But be aware that 
these names are case sensitive.  In particular, you will need to modify 
your example to make the second column 'name' as opposed to 'Name'.

Please let us know how this works out for you.
