Research direction

Start by reviewing the linked blogroll.xsl stylesheet and locating the FeedLand code path that serves OPML subscription lists. Check how a stylesheet could be attached while preserving the requested FeedLand links; done means the approach is agreed and the OPML output renders as the proposed HTML view.

Description

Hey, I've been loving this project, thanks for creating this!

I put together an XSLT stylesheet that can format an OPML subscription list into a pretty HTML file. The idea being that when someone lands on an OPML file in their browser, they'll see more than just the raw XML.

I've got it wired up so that clicking on a blog title takes you to the FeedLand page for that feed.

There's a couple people using this approach on their RSS files. The result is kinda cool and should be easier for people who are new to RSS.

I'd love to apply a stylesheet to my OPML subscription list, but since it's hosted on FeedLand, I'd need to make the change on the FeedLand side. Is this something FeedLand would consider?
