I'm fine with making this more correct, so long as there is some
indication that it is a feed -- atom is not yet as synonymous with
feed I think.
Also, yes, there is currently only an atom feed exposed.

2009:
Phil noticed that the link to get a feed for a preset points
to ...atom.xml
(which in fact is atom) but the link text reads "RSS" (doubtless
because
"RSS" has become synonymous with "feed" both to people who don't
know the
difference and to people who do know but don't care to split hairs
in the
wrong context). Melkjug isn't the only software perpetuating this
ambiguity
-- Safari's blue "RSS" button in the address bar comes to mind --
but the
question is do we care? My personal inclination is to change it to
"Atom" or
"Feed" but if this sacrifices popular understanding for correctness
it's not
worth it.
+1 to changing the name. I was tricked by this the other day while
trying to
pull my jug's feed into a WordPress install using the KB Advanced
RSS Widget. I
was wondering why it wasn't working until I actually looked at the
feed and
realized it wasn't RSS :)
Also, I take it this means Melkjug doesn't currently expose an RSS
feed?
