Associating XSLT with Atom feed so it renders in Chrome

I'm generating an ATOM feed with this header:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/atom2html.xsl"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

I think this used to work in Chrome - visiting the URL showed an HTML rendering of the Atom feed. However, some time in the last few months (I think), Chrome's handling of Atom feeds changed so that you can't see the content without installing a plugin like "Feed intent viewer".

Is it still possible to transform an Atom feed using XSLT like this, so it will render on Chrome? What do I need to do? (Or are my assumptions about what used to work wrong?)

This might not be your issue, but do note, Chrome will not run transforms which reside on local storage. – Sean B. Durkin Aug 31 '12 at 03:10
Yeah, in this case it's not - but good to note. – Steve Bennett Aug 31 '12 at 03:51
Could you supply a sample input XML document, your atom2html.xsl style-sheet, and the version of Chrome you are using. – Sean B. Durkin Aug 31 '12 at 04:33

So it boils down to the MIME type of your feed document. Change it to application/xml, and you should be good. – Sean B. Durkin Aug 31 '12 at 04:55

Thanks. Yes, the content-type is currently "text/html; charset=UTF-8" so I'll try application/xml. – Steve Bennett Sep 02 '12 at 12:01
