Really nice technique to solve the 'users seeing ugly RSS feed' issue.

Just noticed this at secretGeek's site, on his RSS feed he specifies an xslt and css file for the feed page - result, his users only see a nicely formatted page instead of the nasty XML view you usually see...I'll put this on mine tonight, it's always annoyed me that some visitors here just see the horror of XML...

Here's some more you can use:-

http://chaz6.com/static/xml/rss20.xsl
http://chaz6.com/static/xml/foaf.xsl
http://chaz6.com/static/xml/opml.xsl

The foaf one i have even written 3 different ones, in Japanese and Chinese as well as english. It uses content negotiation, which uses the client's locale to select the correct stylesheet :o)

See them in action here....
