When a new page is created the resulting rss post is hard to read because it is displayed in its source form (especially with the mediawiki extension). As changes are displayed as pretty (and useful) diffs, why can't new pages be displayed as they appear on the wiki?

Clarifying summary.
Ideally, the new pages feed (available at Special:NewPages) would exist in two variants: one feed with the raw wiki text of new pages (for bots and forks etc.) and another feed with the rendered HTML for human consumption. The current new pages feed is a weird combination of the two: it's raw wiki text wrapped in HTML for "pretty" presentation. Neither machines nor people like it this way.
