That sounds interesting. Do you have an example of this in the wild?

FeedBurner is well know for doing this. For example https://feeds.feedburner.com/GoogleAppsUpdates https://feeds.feedburner.com/GoogleAppsUpdates

  I know it used to be that, but it looks like an ordinary HTML web page now.

    Hmm, I swear that I viewed source and saw XML but you are right. It is definitely just HTML now.

Here's the RSS for the blog of the aboutfeeds.com maintainer (genmon here on HN—including here in the comments to this submission): <https://interconnected.org/home/feed https://interconnected.org/home/feed> If you wanted an informal list of people making use of this pretty-feed.xsl specifically, it would be possible to solicit that sort of thing through GitHub and see if others come out of the woodwork to identify themselves.

I offer my site as another example: https://chrismorgan.info/blog/tags/make/feed.xml https://chrismorgan.info/blog/tags/make/feed.xml (a subset chosen, just because the feed with everything is fairly large and loads stuff from a few origins). Stylesheet at https://chrismorgan.info/atom.xsl https://chrismorgan.info/atom.xsl. This is considerably more correct, robust and featureful than any others I’ve seen, just because I could (I don’t even use most of the stuff I’ve implemented for it, though some like enclosures I have draft content using). It handles Atom’s text constructs (where content can be provided in XHTML, HTML or text format), and the common attributes xml:lang and xml:base, none of which I’ve seen any other stylesheet handle correctly. I also produced an RSS variant, since you basically have to use the inferior RSS for podcasts. That’s not in use on my site at this time, so I’ve dropped a copy at https://temp.chrismorgan.info/2022-05-10-rss.xsl https://temp.chrismorgan.info/2022-05-10-rss.xsl for now. But please, use Atom. RSS is a lousy format that causes some genuine problems and should have been completely retired fifteen years ago, and the only thing that actually needs it still is podcasts.
