I hate to demean Dean by bringing up Sean K. Reynolds' "Feat Point System" but quantifying Dungeons and Dragons as a point buy game or an "equivalence" game has always been ripe for hysterical fuckery.
This juicy thing from the Wayback Machine really is a gas. Sure, this came out in 2003, but there really shouldn't be any excuse for being THIS off the mark, especially as a WOTC employee writing game material.

Did you know that +2 to 2 skills is worth 9 points, but Augment Summoning is only worth 7?
Did you know that Extend Spell and Empower Spell are both 5 point feats, but Great Fortitude is worth both of them put together?
What is a true benchmark feat like Improved Initiative valued at? Would you be surprised to learn that at 8 points, Improved Initiative is inferior to Deceitful or Acrobatic or Blind-Fighting and bested by a full 2 points by Skill Focus?
Here's the justification...
"Improved Initiative 8 Skill Focus (not quite as good as a +2/+2 skill feat because you normally can only use it once per combat)"
:/
Skill Focus, 10 points, Natural Spell and Extend Spell, 10 points total.
