*/*? Well, then they (quite literally) deserve what they get.

I'm not too concerned about feed readers - I don't plan on reading my
own feed - just publishing to it.

Anyway, my feed auto-discovery link includes "?format=application%2Fatom
%2Bxml" which is my trick to force a particular media type in lieu of an
HTTP Accept header. If push came to shove, I could always litter these
parameters throughout my Atompub implementation too, but I'd rather not
if possible.
