Description
The problem I have noticed is with the comments feed however I think that this can happen with any of the other feeds.
When there are no comments accessing somedomain.com/comments/feed will cause a 404 error message in some browsers and in others just a blank screen, no errors whatsoever are generated which makes it very hard to figure out what the underlying cause is.
I would suggest providing a message that clearly states the lack of comments instead of a 404 error message or blank page, I think this same problem applies to all other feeds except it is clearly not noticeable as posts are the first things that are created after a clean install but comments can sometimes take longer or may not even happen however the comments feed url is added in the head of the document causing the site to have a broken link.
