The screen on the XT/350D is as interchangeable as on all of the other Canon DSLRs. It's just that Canon doesn't supply any automatic compensation for in-camera metering differences.
I've had a Haoda split-circle screen in my XT/350D for over four years.

Does that happen with the Katz Eye, too? They use a narrower angle for the split circle to push the blackout up toward f/11—at the expense of slightly less precise focusing—and I'd always
assumed that the same was true of the microprism collar.
