The pages with RSS pages (Newest/Most popular etc.) should contain the
Autodiscovery metatag as defined here:

They should also at the very least contain a link to the RSS feed, instead of
being buried in the FAQ.

Ok, it will go something like 

switch ($category) {
  case "Newest":
    $rsslist = "newest";
    break;
  case "Popular":
    $rsslist = "popular";
    break;
  case "Top Rated":
    $rsslist = "rated";
    break;
}

$rssfeed = "/rss/?application=" . $application . "&type=" . $type . "&list=" .
$rsslist

however, showlist has the page header above the detection of $application.  So I
recomment the browser detection is moved before the html header, and then the
RSS url added to the header.

OK, so this would go on showlist.php... 
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS”
href="http://$HTTP_HOST/$rssfeed"> for listings for newest, most popular, top
rated, etc.

--> Taking bug.

Well, it can be a relative URL instead of absolute.
