    When a new custom feed is added, the endpoint will render using a `Content-Type: application/octet-stream; charset=UTF-8` by default. It would be useful to document working with content types in combination with add_feed().

    For example either:

    function add_custom_feed() {
    	add_feed( 'custom', 'render_custom_feed' );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_feed' );
    
    function render_custom_feed() {
    	header( 'Content-Type: application/rss+xml' );
    	echo 'aye!';
    }
    

    or:

    function add_custom_feed() {
    	add_feed( 'custom', 'render_custom_feed' );
    }
    add_action( 'init', 'add_custom_feed' );
    
    
    function custom_feed_content_type( $content_type, $type ) {
    	if( 'custom' == $type ) {
    		$content_type = 'application/rss+xml';
    	}
    	return $content_type;
    }
    add_filter( 'feed_content_type', 'custom_feed_content_type', 10, 2 );
    
    function render_custom_feed() {
    	echo 'aye!';
    }
    

    will work.
