10689	In Firefox, RSS Feeds using Full Text displays as Excerpt	r-a-y		"Wasn't sure to either file this as a ""bug"" or an ""enhancement"", but anyway this ""bughancement"" was originally pointed out by Rahul:
http://www.devilsworkshop.org/force-firefox-to-display-your-full-feeds-wordpress-hack/

In wp-includes/feed-rss2.php,
{{{
<?php if (get_option('rss_use_excerpt')) : ?>
		<description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
<?php else : ?>
		<description><![CDATA[<?php the_excerpt_rss() ?>]]></description>
}}}

The ""else"" statement should not be the_excerpt_rss(), it should be the_content_rss().

The same thing would have to be modified for the other feed items.

I know <description> should be ideally used as an excerpt, but the main problem is Firefox uses the <description> attribute instead of <content:encoded> to view RSS feeds with Full Text.

Since we already do a check for using rss_use_excerpt(), couldn't we just make the <description> full text anyway?
