RSS Feed and Browsers

Internet Explorer 7 should recognize RSS feeds "Out of the box" and offer you
to subscribe, displaying the contents via its own internal XSL Stylesheet.
For Firefox and other browsers, consider the "rel" link which looks like so
in your page markup:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="eggheadcafe.com
Main Feed" href="/rss.xml">

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="Feed Title"
href="myrssfeed.xml">

Every standard browser uses this...

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"
href="http://tempuri.org" title="My Blog" />

That will notify the browser there's an RSS resource related to that
page. Intranet Explorer 6 won't get near that though.

The use of linked XML file(s) for RSS WebFeeds is called "auto discovery"
for those that want to learn more about this topic.
