But given that an alternative exists which shouldn't break those servers, why not use it when there's no apparent downside?
The downside is that implementations that (quite reasonably) assume that application/atom+xml == feed are also reasonable when they ignore unknown media type parameters.
Given the options of a new type or a new parameter, I am +1 on the new type. (Although in general, I don't like the proliferation of application/*+xml types, because apps need to do root sniffing for application/xml anyway.)
