More IE RSS discovery and subscription reports


I subbed to two more feeds. Very different sites, same experience.

On my OPML blog and on my podcast site the new little RSS square icon with the broadcast waves remains grey, meaning no feeds were detected on the web page. But, if I click on the XML icons on the pages I get an MS page inviting me, in a pretty yellow box, to subscribe -- and it displays the most recent items. No raw feed is visible.

I'm able to subscribe successfully. It's just that IE didn't recognize there was a feed.

For the podcast, a checkbox was added for opting to "Automatically download the enclosed files." I checked it. Each link to an MP3 files has a musical notes icon next to it, which is not that podcast friendly, is it? Better a speaker icon, I think.
