Yes, I guess I don't know what important UI feature my feeds would be missing if they didn't use the IE7 stylesheet? (feel the shame for asking :) I have my own feed entry navigation, thank you kindly, and yes, I (will) use the SSE extensions. The educational box describing what feeds are with the big subscribe button optional, thanks. All I care about is the subscribe button, I'll do the rest.
Why shouldn't the publisher stylesheet be the default if the publisher wants it to be in the browser/aggregator app? IE7 is dsiplaying the Atom content tags afterall. This is not just the My Yahoo box with feed links (title and link href) to pages contain news stories, but IE7 is rendering content tags in the browser. I want my psychedelic tie dye background when displaying my content tags! -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of 'A.

That means your feed will have to be missing UI features that other feeds have. I hope I don't need to explain why that is a bad idea for a user interface. Maybe there could be a button "View with publisher look" when the feed provides styling information, but it should definitely not be the default. >If I don't have one, and 90% don't, then by all means, use the >Microsoft IE7 stylesheet.

Or they will be irritated because it's different and the usual sorting controls and navigation are missing? Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
