I am working on getting a Drupal install ready for primetime and want to provide both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds. Is there a module that would change all of the places where feeds are displayed from just having the XML badge for the RSS 2.0 feed and instead have links for both RSS 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds using badges that I define (or at least something more attractive than the default XML badge)? If no such thing exists, where would I modify the Drupal code so this would be provided? I would like these changes applied to both the Syndication block and any other place where a feed is provided (such as the bottom of a taxonomy page).
I already looked at the Atom module, but not only can I not figure out how to get it to work, but it only produces Atom 0.3 feeds, which is no longer acceptable since the Atom 1.0 standard depreciated it (I believe).
Thanks

Atom 1.0
To answer the second part of your post, the downloadable 4.6 version of the module does need to be updated, but the version in CVS outputs Atom 1.0.
Note that right now, at this writing, it seems to work nicely with 4.6, but since the version I link to will always be the very latest one, in the future it might incorporate changes that might make it incompatible.

Thanks
Thanks.
I put it in the modules directory and enabled it, but I don't see any new options and it does not seem to have effected anything on my site. How do I utilize this module?
OK
OK, now I can see that the module produces a feed available at /atom/feed. What I was looking to achieve was to take every place where a RSS feed is made available and add an extra Atom 1.0 feed to accompany it. For instance, the site's main feed is currently available at /node/feed. What I would like is to have it be something like /node/feed/rss and /node/feed/atom. I would at least like to be able to offer an Atom feed through the Syndicate block if I cannot replace every feed occurance.
Atom 1.0 in 4.6 version
I just checked the CVS logs, and the official 4.6 version of the module now outputs Atom 1.0 feeds.

I was looking at a similar idea ... feedburner anyone?
I was wondering how hard it might be to have feedburner handle my feeds. The way to integrate feedburner support is to have a private feed URL that you only tell to feedburner, and have the advertised feed URL be one provided by feedburner.
Unfortunately drupal has so many feed locations popping out of every nook and cranny ..that.. it would be impractical to register them all with feedburner.
But the other thing about that idea is there's so many places in the drupal code that creates feeds. You're talking about changing a lot of places. I might suggest a project for 4.8 would be to generalise feed generation to handle both these issues.

something like this is needed
To cleanly support all the feed formats for media
Feed Wrangler Module
This is something I have been thinking about for a while and have been talking with some developers about how to make a "Feed Wrangler" module. The specs we came up with:
1. turn on/off all feeds (a master switch)
2. turn off individual feeds (much like the access control interface)
3. consolidate all feeds into a single feed
Number 3, can be done combining feeds via a custom URL and aliasing, but what I think is critical is having some more control over the feeds which "appear all over the place". We need some way to control them through the interface rather than through custom URLs.
