So my wife is browsing the referral reports for her blog, and asks this typically salient question:

If I’m reading an RSS feed of somebody else’s blog, and they have a link in their RSS to my blog, and I click that link… who’s IP address gets written to the logfiles as the referrer?

Technically this is a question about RSS standards and practices, I suppose, as well as Apache’s logging. But in practice it’s about the observed length of chains of surfing behavior.

Advice (or experimental results) would be welcomed.
