In other words, the application/xml content is a fallback for when

browser-dependent so that we serve application/atom+xml to browsers
which will display it inline with a style sheet, if there are any.
This means that users might possibly end up subscribing to
something of type application/xml if they copy and paste URL #3...
but we could also make this client dependent so that, for example,
everything other than known web browsers get application/atom+xml.
Not sure about that as it's changing the MIME type, but I think
it's changing it for a good reason (working around what I think is
a browser problem).
Seems sensible. -Tim
