It would be strange to use one of the many RSS formats while there is
a technically superior IETF standard (RFC 4287).

This being said, discussion mailing lists (not announce mailing lists)
are not very well handled by current syndication formats, mostly
because of links between messages of a same thread. See
draft-snell-atompub-feed-thread-04.txt for a possible solution.
