Dumb XML question
Tuesday, July 21, 2009 by Dave Winer.
2. When I view my site's RSS feed I want to see the XML, not a stylesheet rendering of the XML. 
3. To be clear, I want to see the actual XML.
4. Is there some way to force the browser to do this?
5. Please no lectures on how this isn't the way it's supposed to work. TIA.
Update: This post seems to explain what's going on. Most browsers do funny stuff with RSS.
