Are you asking about the general format of the XML files or the content that we deliver from www.wireshark.org? We use WinSparkle for automatic updates on Windows, which uses an RSS variant called Appcast:
https://github.com/vslavik/winsparkle/wiki/Appcast-Feeds
"Check for updates" uses HTTPS, but it's easy enough to dump stable{32,64}.xml using curl:
$ curl -o - https://www.wireshark.org/update/0/Wireshark/0.0.0/Windows/x86/en-US/stable.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:sparkle="http://www.andymatuschak.org/xml-namespaces/sparkle";>

$ curl -o - https://www.wireshark.org/update/0/Wireshark/0.0.0/Windows/x86-64/en-US/stable.xml
