I completely forgot about the browser friendly feed styles at FeedBurner. Well, they just announced a subscriber friendly browser styling. The funny thing is that I know how to do this… and it’s so obvious I can’t believe I didn’t think about it.
Hey Feedburner folks, make it work in Safari…
Thanks to Nick Bradbury for the pointer.

Hey there,
Glad you appreciate the new changes. As soon as the next version of Safari (presumably with the “Tiger” OS X upgrade) ships, it should fully support XSLT, which is the data transformation language we actually use to render the richest Browser Friendly style we offer. Until then, readers who encounter feeds that use this service will only see them look their best if they’re using late-model editions of Firefox, Mozilla, or IE/Windows. Thanks for keeping us honest, though, and we hope to expand browser support as the browsers themselves adopt new capabilities.

Hey Matt,
Yeah, I forgot that Safari was broken when I wrote the post. From what I hear, Tiger is fine. We have a couple of dev copies at work and I’ll try to track it down and check it out. I think in general we can’t comment on specifics about the pre-release, but at least I can file the bug reports.
I think more folks should do this. Makes it a good way to bridge that gap between expert users who like to just right click on the XML button or drag-and-drop links and the novice user who may not know what it is.
