No.

<a href="http://path/to/rssfeed.xml" target="blank">click to view
feed</a> would do it.

In general though, you add the RSS feed to the head elements of your
web page, which browser based feed readers (like in IE7 and Firefox)
can use  directly by showing a "subscribe to feed" icon, often in the
bottom of the browser chrome - no need for a link then.

RSS feeds are intended to be subscribed to, not viewed directly.
So the idea of an RSS link is a bit odd - try dragging an RSS feed
icon to your feed reader is normal, but not actuvely clicking on it
and expecting to see RSS feed content shown as just another web page.

You can see how this works on our video filter page :
http://coull.tv/videos/browse/recent/category/all/full/

In firefox 1.x, the RSS feed icon appears in the top right of the
addres bar, the browser's picking that up from the element in the HTML
head (View -> Source to see how it's done) :

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="coull.tv : RSS
Feed for Most Recent videos"
href="http://coull.tv/feeds/rssfeed.php?type=recent" />

BTW, this is an XML group, so your question is a bit misplaced since
it's about general web page management.
