Comment:

 That link just defines an XML name space (xmlns), see
 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmlns

 While I agree that in general it's more helpful if the link points to
 something useful, that isn't a requirement for xmlns.

 This link should also not be showing up directly in your site, it's only
 part of the RSD (really simply discovery) link, that is intended for blog
 clients (like Windows Live Writer, Mars Edit, WordPress iPhone app, etc)
 to figure out how to talk to your WordPress install.

 I'm closing this as invalid since there's something to address or change
 in this case.
