But wouldn't the xml code just get escaped and wrapped in the Atom feed format? You could create a separate xml file in rss format and host it elsewhere - but that would be more work than it should be.

Does your feed reader accept Atom feeds? And can you open up the atom.xml file in Internet Explorer? That would at least prove that it's valid xml.
