Description
If you have date-based permalinks like yyyy/mm/dd/slug, and your slug happens to be the name of a feed, someone clicking its permalink will see a feed instead of the post.
You can see this in action on this post of Matthew Thomas', here: http://mpt.net.nz/?p=36
The proper permalink for this can be seen in the URL on the headline, which is: http://mpt.net.nz/archive/2004/09/30/atom
But clicking it gets an Atom feed for September 30th.
His site still uses an alpha from 1.3, but I've replicated this on a 1.5 install.

Hi Mark,
This is currently the only "blocker" bug open ;-)
Are you waiting on dev-feedback before preparing a patch? Is there something else needed before pursuing further? Is the bug really blocker?
- Keywords has-patch added; bg|needs-patch bg|dev-feedback removed
Try this on for size.
