9 Aggregators – Internet Explorer 7 remember that RSS feeds are simply XML files –earlier browsers simply displayed the XMLXML –some recent browsers including IE7 have aggregator functionality and display the XML as a human readable web pageweb page IE7 has additional aggregator features: –an icon indicates feed presence in page –a feeds list similar to ‘favorites’ is provided –feeds can be subscribed to using similar techniques as when adding favorites –Con: IE7 doesn’t support feeds that reference DTDs due to potential security issuesfeedspotential security issues
