New description:

 Pretty permalink feeds aren't canonical.

 ENV: WP trunk r8190 (2.6-beta1)
 Browser: Firefox/3.0

 The canonical URL for the feeds - both posts and comments - is not
 working as intended. The following error only occurs with 'pretty'
 permalinks enabled. My specific testing involved the "Day and name"
 option.

 The issue is evident when pointing your browser to
 "http://www.example.com/feed". The expected outcome is for the browser to
 display, upon load, the canonical URL, or
 "http://www.example.com/feed/" Instead, the address bar will remain
 populated with the address that you entered (i.e. no "/" added).

 The issue is only evident with the feed URLs. For instance, pointing
 your browser to "http://www.example.com/page" will yield the correct
 outcome, and redirect to "http://www.example.com/page/". The same goes for
 categories, posts, etc.
