It seems to have to do with how it looks formatting wise and not about availability or not, that is what is being meant.
That's just for those few websites that use their RSS feed as their content source. If they want to keep doing that they can just get a JavaScript library that provides XSLT functionality. The feed itself is untouched.
"Yay more JavaScript" said nobody
Yep which is why the purpose of this post
So things like newsbreak who ingest a sites feed then display?
Should be fine. They don't have to use a browser to retrieve that feed.
