News feed types and URLs

It looks like you recently pushed out a (quite nice) new site design,
and the feed URLs for W3C news have changed.



RSS and Atom feeds are now available at
[1]http://www.w3.org/blog/news/feed and
[2]http://www.w3.org/blog/news/feed/atom, respectively. The *old* site
provided autodiscovery to an Atom feed
at [3]http://www.w3.org/News/atom.xml. This old URL is now redirecting
to [4]http://www.w3.org/blog/news/feed, which is the new URL for RSS,
not Atom. Seems like subscribers to an Atom feed should continue to be
served Atom if possible.



In addition, the site <head> still contains the old alternate link
element:



  <link href="/News/atom.xml" rel="alternate"
type="application/atom+xml" title="W3C News">



This is both pointing to a redirect, and giving a misleading type,
since the redirect ends at an RSS feed.



Thanks!



Ian
