That is the usual way of doing it.
But you can use an XSLT stylesheet which you can use for parsing XML and so display it in a web browser.
XSLT is a bit like a supercharged version of CSS for XML but also have things like XPath which can be used for processing the XML like with a programming language.
XSLT only works on browsers that support it, like IE6, Firefox, Opera, Safari, but as it is parsed the same way as XML if the parser doesn't like what it's getting you get an error like what you are getting.
I'm not sure why your browser is unable to parse the XSLT stylesheet as this only effects a very small number of users and it is working fine in IE6, IE7, Firefox, and Opera on my test machines.
However, even if your browser can not parse the XSLT stylesheet the XML for the RSS Feed is still produced fine and complies with the RSS Validator, so will still work in an RSS News Reader.

I've just looked at the error message again that you got, and it looks like it saying 'Access Denied' on the XSLT Stylesheet file which suggests that some settinsg on your PC or browser are preventing your browser from running the XSLT stylesheet.
Again, this will not prevent the RSS Feed from working.
However, if you could change your browser settings to allow the XSLT stylesheet to be parsed I would be very interested to know so that I can advise others with a similar issue.

A little update on this, The RSS feed is now working on IE6 and FF from a direct click on the orange RSS button  Earlier on it was only the main page RSS that wasn't working, with all others functioning fine. I made no changes at this end. Hope this info helps.

I think that sometimes posts can course the web browsers parser to not parse the XSLT file correctly and course the issue.
What I will have to do is to try a findout why then create some filters to remove parts of the posts that course this issue, but this may take sometime to get the filters fully refined.

http://forums.webwiz.net/RSS_post_feed.asp?TID=18978 validated in my feed check and looks fine. In IE 6.0 SP 2 i still get the same error. when i look at it in Firefox 1.0.4 the content of the page displays but is all jumbled up and also shows the html. I suspect the problem is on my end, either with my browsers or because i'm going thru a proxy, a surf patrol nanny and a firewall. i need to try it at home and see what happens. i'll also go check for updates.

I think I can see the problem now.
It looks like you are using the old .com domain name, if you use the webwiz.net domain name it should work.
This may also explain your access denied problem in IE as I guess it can not parse an XSLT file from a different domain.
It probably would be best to update to use the .info domain name anyway as it has been 4 years now since moving to the .info domain so will be making the .com into a redirect to the .info which should also help in search engine placement.

I also made some changes to the file so it would work on the .com domain.
I plan on writing a new site soon and once the change over happens I will be dropping the old .com domain name and just have the .info domain name for access to the site, so maybe worth updating your links.
