Code
Language: html4strict (GeSHi-highlighted)
<link rel='alternate' title='Atom' href='/feed/atom0_3/' type='application/rss+xml' />
<link rel='alternate' title='RSS' href='/feed/rss2_0/' type='application/atom+xml' />

When using the above Firefox only detects the RSS feed and displays the feed icon in addressbar. When it should be detecting both and upon clicking the feed icon show a list of feeds detected. I don't know why its not showing the Atom one. It does consider that MIME type valid since when I manually go to the feed URL for Atom the Firefox LiveBookmarks form appears and that file is served with the same MIME type. Changing application/atom+xml to application/rss+xml then Firefox detects them both but thats not the 'technically valid' MIME type to use for Atom.

I don't want to keep the documents MIME and the LINKs MIME different since don't know what that might cause in some browsers and some aggregators will base the parsing upon the MIME detected and if it detects the Atom feed as RSS then will cause problems. Anyone have any ideas on what to do?
