 Replying to [comment:13 miqrogroove]:
 > And while I'm thinking of it, if RSS headers require a separate function
 call, then why the hell doesn't that function output anything?

 Why would it output something? It's registering actions.

 If instead of registering actions, it outputted the actual `<links>` then
 there would be no way for plugins to stop it.

 Trust me, a lot of thought and testing went into the
 `automatic_feed_links()` function when I wrote it so that it'd be easy to
 use while more importantly be backwards compatible.

 And -1 to automatically determining if the theme has hard coded links or
 not. What if a blog had it's RSS link be to FeedBurner and not have
 `bloginfo()` be involved at all? There's many possibilities where such
 code would fail.

 Stuff like that is never 100% reliable. Theme developers just need to stop
 being lazy. :P
