Here's an example of getting a label feed out of blogger:

To do category filtering, we'd have to add category to the list of elements
that filtering works on. In Planet 2.0, that's not amazingly simple because
it ignores them (because they're not a single value such as "title"). Venus
might be able to do it already, but if not, it will most likely be a simple
change to make.

But now you know that you can get label feeds out of blogger. :-)
