Actually, I'd prefer to be explicit about the format rather than to default it; defaulting makes the behavior site-specific and the client has to know what it is and it can change whenever the administrator decides to change it.
Every feed parser and reader I've encountered does some form of feed sniffing (HTTP HEAD or parser smarts) to determine the format and parses whaever it finds, be it RSS 0.9X, 1.0, 2.0 or Atom. But I'll concede your point. If we have to be explicit, I guess I prefer putting the format name in the URL then like Allen's #2 option. /<weblog>/feed/entries/rss /<weblog>/feed/entries/atom /<weblog>/feed/comments/rss /<weblog>/feed/comments/atom - Dave
