SyndicationFeed output is not recognized by Internet Explorer 8 rss

I'm using the .net SyndicationFeed to write out feed to an xml file. Here's the output of SaveAsRss20

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss xmlns:a10="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" version="2.0">
  <channel>
    <title>My Title</title>

</rss>

The feed opens as an xml file in Internet Explorer 8 - it does not get the xslt treatment that other feed xml files get.

I've also tried SaveAsAtom10 which leads to different xml, but same IE8 behavior.

My co-worker says that he is able to subscribe to the feed with another feedreader, but my feedreader of choice is IE8, so I'd like to get my feeds to work with it.

What am I missing to get the feed recognized by IE8?

Make sure your Response Type is: application/rss+xml

I know I've had similar issues with IE and feeds, with the cause typically being the response type.
