RE: New URI scheme talk in RSS-land

If we have a MIME type that always involves invoking a separate application when a user clicks on a feed how does one perform HTTP GETs on the feed to view the XML content in their browser then? So does this mean servers have to use separate MIME types for the same file or that the assumption is that no one will ever want to click on a feed and see the actual content in their web browser? Both seem like gross hacks to me. 
 
Then again I don't have the "HTTP URIs can solve every problem" religion so this may just be a problem with me.

How about making sure the RSS feed URI appears in the mime-typed
representation passed by the browser?
