I'm "pre-caching" feeds as xml files and have not added this mime type to the server, so no, they're served as text/xml.  IE7 appears to recognize them as feeds because you can see it does its re-factor of the Atom feed as RSS2.  Why does IE7 convert Atom feeds to RSS2 and use the Atom ns in

If you quickly check the list archives you will notice that this very conversation is taking place directly with members of the IE7/RSS team.  The short of it is that that MS is taking the RSS '2.0' format and extending it in areas necessary to allow for what will eventually be a 1:1 mapping, witho

Yes, I currently work around using the IRI, as mentioned, to specify the relationship and that works fine. Re namesapces, I just think namespaces are plentiful already and add a little more work in terms of parsing. I'm applying them at the feed level, and as James Snell shows, they can be usefu

Neat idea :)   > Why does IE7 rip out xml-stylesheet directives. I can only assume your server is serving up the atom file (correctly) as application/atom+xml?  If yes, application/atom+xml is transfered directly to the feed rendering mechanism, bypassing the xml parsing mechanism that would read t

I've been experimenting with the use of rel="stylesheet" to provide a relatively safe way of attaching styles to syndicated content. The dangers of allowing embedded styles in syndicated content are well known [1], however, it still makes sense to provide an optional way of allowing publishers an

My feeds contain a generic xml-stylesheet, which formats the feed for display along with a feed-specific css.  Since xsl processors do not have a standard way to pass parameters to xsl stylesheets, I provide this feed-specific css to the xsl processor in the feed as a link with rel="styleshe
