Comment (by Otto42):

 Depends on how you define "standard". It has yet to be registered with
 IANA and such, but the feed validator wants application/rss+xml:
 http://feedvalidator.org/docs/warning/UnexpectedContentType.html

 The use of application/xml and/or text/xml, while technically correct, was
 only to be compatible with IE6 and to allow the feed to display instead of
 to download. All major feed readers work with, and prefer, the more
 specific MIME types of rdf+xml, rss+xml, atom+xml, and so on.
