I'm looking for the easy way out right now though (some research already done), not the programmatic solution. If I find anything that seems anywhere near interesting, and actual statistics, I'll let you know (if you're interested). Thanks for that cool idea (and the comments on LOLCODE)!

FeedBurner claims to know what version major readers prefer since SmartFeed is one of the free services you can turn on for a feed they're serving for you. A fun trick to play might be adding a feed to FeedBurner, turn on SmartFeed so it translates your feed into the preferred syndication format, then requesting the feed from FeedBurner. Spoof your user agent as a different reader on each request and see what formats get returned.

Do you happen to know, or have any proof, as to which version of syndication (RSS 0.9x, 1.0, 2.0, or ATOM) seems to be the most widely supported by applications, and/or used by site visitors?

Also nice one on debunking that terrible pagerank 'article', it makes me so mad when people pass information like that off as their own in one fecking long list which is full of inaccuracies about a system that's practically not even used anymore.
