Redirecting comment feeds

Phil Ringnalda: From now until the ambiguous time when “I’m satisfied” all my titles will include at least one less-than character, whether they need it or not

This has lead to my RSS comment feeds producing warnings, and I can’t have that.  So effective immediately, all my per entry and overall RSS comment feeds permanently redirect to equivalent Atom 1.0 feeds.

In both cases my markup is spec-wise correct as far as I can tell. (And neither <x> nor <y> could be confused for HTML by an AI-complete sophisticated DWIM machine. :-)

Tim Bray’s  statistics show a small but growing number of people prefer his Atom feed over his RSS 2.0 feed. As my weblog supports more feed formats, my data is a bit more spread out.  About 45% are subscribed to my RSS 0.91 feed, 10% to my RSS 1... [more]
