PHP version: Irrelevant
PHP Bug Type: Website problem
Bug description: Word wrapping in PHP.net source makes the Firefox RSS feature buggy

Description:
------------
In the php.net (HTML) source code (home/news page), there is a <link> tag
which identifies the RSS file of the web site.
The newline character in this source makes the RSS subscriber buggy,
because it shows up as a square character.
This is an annoying, but minor bug, and can be fixed easily simple by
removing the newline character from the source.

Reproduce code:
---------------
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="PHP: Hypertext
Preprocessor" href="http://www.php.net/news.rss" />

Expected result:
----------------
The menu should read "Subscribe to 'PHP: Hypertext Preprocessor'..."

Actual result:
--------------
The menu reads "Subsribe to PHP: Hypertext# Preprocessor".
