--- Comment #4 from Brion Vibber <[email protected]> 2009-09-23 21:58:26 UTC --- feed.css is for browsers that will apply CSS to XML, but *don't* recognize RSS/Atom feeds specifically (for instance, very old versions of Firefox). Many/most modern browsers know RSS and/or Atom feed formats natively, and never see that XML stylesheet reference. They parse out the feed and build their own user interface for showing you the feed items. They also tend to completely ignore any <style> blocks in those individual feed items, which is why we have to embed the styles to get legible output; we can't use a <style> block or <link rel="stylesheet"> to style them because it just won't work... This was added in r12913 for bug 1284. That was 3 years ago, so it wouldn't hurt to do an environmental scan of current feed readers to check for improved <style> support, but unless that's been fixed I'm not sure how much we can do. We could at least reduce the bloat by removing the white background / black foreground or something. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
