Description

<wfw:commentRSS> tag in wp-rss2.php does not conform strictly to standards, causing most RSS readers to parse incorrectly.

Tag should be <wfw:commentRss>

According to the wellformedweb site the WordPress is right here they have it as <wfw:commentRSS> (http://wellformedweb.org/news/wfw_namespace_elements/).

However, the original proposal by Chris Sells (http://www.sellsbrothers.com/spout/default.aspx?content=archive.htm#exposingRssComments) has the <wfw:commentRss> form.

The first URI is the one that you get by following this:

<wfw:commentRss xmlns:wfw="http://wellformedweb.org/CommentAPI/">

... which leads me to call that one the correct version.

So, bug is in the RSS readers that are looking for <wfw:commentRss>

welcomb, can you point us somewhere else authoritative that contradicts this?
