Why, though? There’s no reason aggregators couldn’t at some point become more capable of doing something useful with unknown content types (cf. mail clients), and even before, subscribing in an aggregator is a useful debugging venue in a cinch. I think what you need is no more than a way to say “this doesn’t contain human-readable content.” I don’t know that I’d try to put this fact into the feed in machine-readable form. I’d be inclined to just supply an atom:subtitle for the feed saying that there’s nothing to read here, sorry. Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
