Encoding key-value pairs in an RSS feed's URL

I've noticed that most websites don't set up their RSS feed URLs to make use of encoded key-value pairs that let one create specific queries, like the following fictional example:

http://stackoverflow.com/feeds?tag=python&lang=en&minvotes=2

Is there a particular technical reason for this? Or am I just not finding the RSS feeds that do this?

There is no technical reason. My company does this now with our news feeds.

I'd post a link, but it requires registration to see the feeds. We have urls like .../feed.php?type=news, etc.
