wfw:commentRSS should be wfw:commentRss

Due to a clerical error, the element Chris Sells originally spec'ed as wfw:commentRss appeared as wfw:commentRSS (note the difference in case) on Joe Gregorio's site. At least one product (WordPress) has implemented and deployed feeds using the spelling originally present on Joe's site.

Since that time, Joe has corrected his error. Accordingly:

• All consumers are encouraged to accept both spellings.
• All producers are encouraged to adopt the original spelling

Here are a few links to prior discussions on the topic:

• Dare Obasanjo
• David Czarnecki
• Greg Smith
• Matthew Mullenweg
• James Holderness

Change wfw:commentRSS to wfw:commentRss

Wordpress users can find this in the wp-rss2.php file.
