Just quickly looking at the source code for that, it looks like RSS.
Which requires an agent that knows what to do with the usual data in
such an XML file, or something that reads the rules related to the page
and can translate it into something else. Though it loads fine in the
Firefox web browser, by itself (*as* a HTML webpage, not as a RSS feed).
HTML has predefined elements (this is a paragraph, this is an item in a
list, etc.), that are already understood by the usual HTML agent, the
web browser. XML, in general, doesn't; you create your own descriptive
elements, and you write a ruleset for how those elements are to be
treated. There are some subsets of XML where some common things have
been defined, such as RSS feeds using XML, where an agent can handle
most of what's in the file, without further assistance.
