Folks: Notice the change made back at Yadis Specification draft 0.7

[Johannes Ernst]

My understanding is that HTTP header names are supposed to be case  
insensitive. So please make sure you catch all capitalization  
variants of those two ...

[Stupid programming error: get all HTTP headers as a hash table,  
later doing a lookup on 'X-XRDS-Location' -- depending what  
capitalization the library used internally, you may or may not find  
it. I bring this up because I made this mistake myself and it's not  
quite obvious ... ;-) ]
