If there is absolutely no way to do that you are using a basically
unusable web server software. Otherwise there should always be a
possibility, asking the web hosting company to configure it, for
example. Seriously, this is a matter of stuffing

  AddType application/atom+xml .atom

in your .htaccess file in many hosting scenarios. Or you can wrap
the content in a PHP script that just emits the proper Content-Type
header, etc. It seems unlikely to me that there will be a considerable
number of authors where the hosting provider 

  * does not associate .atom with the proper MIME type
  * is unwillig to do this upon request
  * does not offer this control to users
  * does not offer similar means through scripting

who still want to publish Atom documents on their web site, it rather
seems that such users either do not care about Atom at all or will use
some other kind of online service that handles this for them. Even if,
if the type would then be text/xml they would, in theory, be limited
to use US-ASCII which they most likely do not know and do not adhere to.
