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

[Joaquin Miller]

I apologize if my message was not clear.  The spec is quite clear and 
does not give any options.  The relevant text is at 6.2.6.

This is unchanged since Version 0.91.

Saying it is courteous to look for X-YADIS-Location (or 
X-Yadis-Location), i had in mind both Postel's law and a relaxed 
attitude while implementations may be still in progress.  There are 
certainly good argument for being strict in what you accept.  So i'll 
back off a bit if others want to consider implementations that use 
X-YADIS-Location to have a bug.  I back of to this: I only meant it 
is courteous to work for a while at least with an implementation that 
has a bug.

Cordially, Joaquin
