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

[David Recordon]

So it looks like the spec is correct, it only refers to X-XRDS- 
Location.  Don't remember the exact reasoning why XRDS was chosen  
over YADIS, guess to be more general, but no reason to change it  
now.  Just need to make sure all implementations use X-XRDS-Location  
and we're good.  Sorry for the confusion.
