Suggest opml.xml as name for OPML view by providing the appropriate
header, consistently with similar usage in project_index view.

I think this makes sense; will apply unless there is any objection.

It is not name for a view, but more of default filename when saving
it. While it is good idea to have consistency, I guess that while
'project_index' view and other non-HTML views are meant to be 
downloaded and saved (snapshots, patches, patchsets), OPML view
is meant to be used on-line, just like web feeds in RSS and Atom
formats which are non-HTML too but do not have Content-Disposition
header set. 

But I do not use OPML. Anyone?

OPML is used for import/export of RSS feed lists between aggregators
(e.g. moving your reading list from knewsreader to google reader). As
such, it can also be comfortable to save it to disk for import by some
tools. IMO, of course. And there's also the consistency thing, and not
actual reason _not_ to offer the filename, since it comes pretty
cheap.

If it is used in such way, then I am all for it (and of course for
consistency with 'projects_index' view).
