MT Atom/XML Support
Can someone explain to me why MT supplies an Atom feed with full articles, but the default for RSS and RDF are still summaries? Very annoying.

Well, the official RSS spec called for 500 character (i believe) summaries. Of course, no one uses that spec any more, but the summaries tend to be the style of choice.
The best I can reccomend is to submit a bug report. I certainly would join you in the realm of full articles.
(found you from localfeeds, fyi)

Or you can just go edit your templates and change it.
In the RSS 2.0 template, find this line:
<description><$MTEntryExcerpt remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></description>
And change it to read:
<description><$MTEntry remove_html="1" encode_xml="1"$></description>
Same thing in the RDF/RSS 1.0 template.
