Well, an aggregator sending a referrer would receive the feed as `application/xml` – it’s not like it wouldn’t work, just suboptimally so. Then again, I can’t think of interesting information to put in the referrer of regular feed poll requests, but maybe my imagination is just too limited here. (I do live under the pleasant illusion that this hackery-pokery is a stopgap measure that will only be necessary for a relatively short while until feeds are ubiquitous and the user-side infrastructure all Just Works. Presumably then we will no longer need to worry about what to do about users seeing raw XML and aggregators will be able to send referrers peacefully…) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
