Never heard of a usability study? Throw some people at
different versions of a website that uses various
mechanisms to show people how they can subscribe and
see which is the most intuitive. The XML button is
probably less so than Jason's proposal since it at
least will point to a URL which would be a starting
point. 

On the other hand, for people who were already savvy
with syndication they'd prefer something like the
feed:// URI than a prettified XML page.

THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #95
My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it's an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.
