attribute's value for autodiscovery links

autodiscovery links
* recommended lowercase attribute names for autodiscovery links in HTML
* dropped suggestion that title could have the value "RSS" instead of
the site's name
* indicated that href URLs can be relative when a base URL is defined,
but recommended against using relative URLs

the page's URL as the base URL
Minor Changes

each spec

and multiple autodiscovery links
