I think they're ok as they are with this. The FeedBurner custom page is there so that people clicking on an RSS feed in a browser see something that makes sense, rather than the XML code. IE7 is an RSS reader, so it displays the feed as an RSS reader would.

If you point any desktop reader at the feed, it shows you the items in its own way - IE7 is just doing the same as any other RSS reader would. FeedBurner's work-around for RSS-ignorant browsers isn't needed any more.
