    I think 2.0.3 has a bug with RSS2 feeds. When I use the tag <?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?> to output the RSS2 feedurl for autodiscovery (using <link rel=) it outputs nothing. The atom feed and the RDF feeds work fine however. The result is when I click on “Entries RSS” or “Comments RSS” it simply takes me back to the homepage.

    When I look at the outputted source the link rel show up like this:

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”” />

    Notice href is not being populated with the RSS URI. It’s weird. The only way I can fix it is by hardcoding and appending /feed/ like this:

    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”RSS 2.0″ href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>feed/” />

    It works, but it’s stupid, since the whole point of using that tag is so I don’t have to do that. Is this a bug?
