Description
When outputting RSS, Trac doesn't produce xml-stylesheet PIs. (See http://www.w3.org/Style/styling-XML for details.)
If it did, the appearance of its RSS feeds would match more closely the appearance of the website, which I think would be an improvement.

Yes and no. An RSS reader, just like a web browser, has at least three levels at which CSS is applied: the default stylesheet (usually hardcoded into the client), the document stylesheet (specified by the page or feed), and the user stylesheet (specified by the user). Each one of them has its own purpose, and the fact that an RSS client will always have a default stylesheet doesn't mean that there's no point in providing a document stylesheet.
Some use cases which would make a document stylesheet appropriate for Trac feeds:
- Displaying ticket numbers of closed tickets with a strikethrough
- Differentiating between internal and external links by using the external link icon in front of external links
- Correctly coloring source code inside WikiFormatted text

Well, presenting the RSS data, isn't that the job of the RSS reader?
Other opinions welcomed.
