Okay - thanks for explaining. Has there been a registered MIME type for RSS?
I thought I saw some mail on that a while ago...
Also, who is the 'them' that you speak of? Is it mainly dynamically
generated RSS? If static stuff is a problem, maybe going to Apache and
adding a file extension mapping for RSS into the mimetypes config may help.

I think MarkN has the right idea - make it /rewarding/ to get a proper
Content-Type header filled in.
