My counterpoint is that this is non-standard approach because the xml-stylesheet directive is a standard XML directive, and IE7 (the reader, not the browser) is essentially saying that RSS/Atom are not first of all XML and should be handled in some proprietary way through IE's display/navigation layer.
I'm going to have to side with Microsoft on this one. When you provide information in an XML format, you're providing
information, not a web page.
You may desire to have it rendered a certain way when it's rendered by
a web browser, but the consumers of your data can do whatever the heck
they want with it. The use of xml-stylesheet is not actually part of
the proper XML standard and there is no requirement that any
implementation honor it. It's merely a suggestion.
