Firefox feed icon adopted by Microsoft for IE7

IE7/Firefox feed iconWhat's going on here? Is Microsoft just blatantly ripping off Mozilla's stuff now? Well.. yeah. Except they asked nicely. Over at Microsoft's RSS Team blog, a developer named Jane has posted about their search for an icon to represents feeds in IE7 and their decision, with the cooperation (and, it would seem, encouragement) of Mozilla's John Lilly and Chris Beard, to use the familiar white-on-orange icon from Firefox. Could this be the beginnings of an industry-standard icon for all RSS and Atom feeds?
