With latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer, the raw RSS 2.0
feeds that I generate using a class extended from FeedController can
be displayed directly in the browser.

However, when using slightly older versions of those browsers the RSS
2.0 apparently isn't able to be displayed in the browser (even as raw
XML, which would be fine).  Instead, the data for some reason looks to
the browser like a file is being downloaded and users are shown a
"Save As" dialog from the browser.  I'd much rather they be shown the
data somehow.

One possible approach I can think of is perhaps if the RSS 2.0 feed
could bring along a reference to an XSLT stylesheet which converts the
data to HTML then the browser would show it.

But I don't know what I'd need to chance in TG code to accomplish
that.  Anyone have any ideas about that?

Or other suggested approach ideas for me?

Basically what I'm looking to achieve is if someone is running
Internet Exporer version 6 and clicks on a like to my RSS feed, I'd
like to have the data show up automatically within the browser.
Generally for most other RSS feeds I've ever seen this is what
happens, but insead gives the confusing "Save As" with the feed from
TG (which otherwise seems a pretty good feed format - I can subscribe
from Google or Bloglines, but not Yahoo for some reason).
