How about this simple rule? If the request for a feed has a referrer, which aggregator presumably[1] never do, then serve as `application/xml` with all cache control headers set to expire immediately; otherwise, send as `application/xhtml+xml`. (Expiry prevents intermediaries from caching it with the wrong MIME type.) [1] My server logs confirm this assumption for at least 20 different popular aggregators.
