Cool solution to the "Ugly RSS Link Issue"

I was just struggling with "Ugly RSS Link Issue" this weekend - you want the little orange XML link, but you know that a lot of folks are gonna click on it and see naked XML and think it's time to reboot or possibly even get a new computer... one with a lot more megapixels.

So here's the obvious solution that would make me feel dumb if it weren't for the fact that nobody seems to be doing it (Via Scott via Leon):

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're usually see...I'll put this on mine tonight, it's always annoyed me that some visitors here just see the horror of XML...
