      Many websites use XSL to style RSS output, creating a nice XHTML output. This helps to not scare away new users, and provide information on how to use the feed, links to a few aggregators, etc.

      I think Jira would benefit from styling its XML issue view. To most of our users, the XML link on the search page appears useless, spurting out some programming language. A heading describing the content and how it might be used would help users discover the benefits of the various RSS technologies.

            We have been offer the ability to style your rss for a while.

            Though now FF2 and IE7 ignore any styling anyway so this is quite pointless.

            Looks like Microsoft might make this unnecessary – starting from IE7 they're now styling RSS content automatically.

            Just found another great example: FeedBurner.

            http://feeds.feedburner.com/BugBash

            This doesn't even show any of the XML content, which might be desirable.

            Dive Into Mark has the best styled feed I've seen, adding pictures and links to a couple of aggregators. He uses XSLT and CSS on an Atom feed. This works in both IE6 and Firefox.

            Wikipedia has quite a basic one, using only CSS. It doesn't look much better in IE, but works well in Firefox.

            Matt,

            Sounds like a pretty good idea. Do you have any sites in mind that does this well that you'd recommend us take a look at?

            Cheers
