RE: New URI scheme talk in RSS-land

It isn't about seeing the XML source code, it is about the fact that you can no longer present ATOM feeds in the web browser (e.g. using CSS or XSLT as a couple of people have proposed doing[0,1]) without lying about its MIME type. Seems like quite a cost just to perpetuate the HTTP URI religion.

I suspect that anyone who really wants to see the XML source code is
probably capable of right-click-to-download or wget or some other way
around the problem.  -Tim
