I have created a new node content type of 'diaryentry', and I 'd like to create a RSS feed from it.

The content type has no taxonomy fields associated with it.

I know that I can add a taxonomy term called, say, 'diary', and add it to the 'diaryentry' content type. This will automatically give me a feed in the form '/taxonomy/term/999/0/feed'

But this is rather kludgy for the user, who must select the taxonomy term 'diary' every time. (option one of one!). I also have no control over where the taxonomy term goes, since it has a fixed weight in Drupal 5.7.

Is there a) a way of associating a taxonomy term automatically with the 'diaryentry' node without having to select the term every time?
or b) Some other way of getting a feed without using taxonomy?

You do not need to have taxonomy to aggregate feed. If you choose to use taxonomy for your feed it could be setup in feed module, for example I know that from FeedApi module, the feed items to inherit the taxonomy term of the respective feed.

You can use the Views RSS module (comes bundled with Views) to create an RSS feed for any new content type. See my screencast. http://learn.awakenedvoice.com/2008/03/04/drupal-views-rss/

There's also http://drupal.org/project/get_content_type, which is more lightweight than Views (especially in D6).
