Hi, Joey.
> * inline: Use the feed's description in the rss and atom links.

I appreciate that you addressed this bug, but I'd like to make my case
that this commit makes the situation /worse/.
I'm thinking, maybe I'm mistaken, that the description of the inline
directive is meant to be the description of the feed, as shown by the
agregator to the user. This is normally a full sentence.
The title of the <link> element, on the other hand, is shown by the
browser in a drop-down, for the user to select the feed to add. This, in
my opinion, should be short, as few words as possible to let the users
differenciate between feeds.
So, in the case there is only one feed, I think the default "RSS" or
"Atom" was fine: there is no need for more. If you have more than one,
though, you probably want to use stuff like, for example, "Main feed
(all articles)", "Articles in Spanish", and "Articles in English". But
you'd want the description of the feed itself to be somewhat more
verbose.
Does this make sense?
Cheers,
