Your assessment is wrong, I'm glad to say. ;) The behavior was changed last September (see https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394416) and Firefox 3.5 will be shipping with a much more restrictive feed sniffer. In particular, it treats http://status.aws.amazon.com/rss/EC2API.rss as text/plain. The HTML5 proposal was fairly instrumental in removing text/plain from the list of types subject to feed sniffing, for what it's worth (as the bug makes clear). -Boris
