auto_discovery_link_tag generating an href tag

For some obscure reason, <%= auto_discovery_link_tag %> generates the following html code: <link href="http://mysite.com/&quot; rel="alternate" title="RSS" type="application/rss+xml" />

This is wrong html. Where does the problem come from? Bug from Rails 2.1.0?

By the way,

  <%= stylesheet_link_tag("screen") %>

generates:

<link href="/stylesheets/screen.css" media="screen" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

I smell something bad.

Isn't that supposed to be the behavior of stylesheet_link_tag as per documentation?

You are write. However, shouldn't it be <link rel=... ???

Because with <link href=... for the CSS, my validator says it is not valid html.

It validates okay using the W3C validation service:
