[Reported by][0] /u/josh64. When the message RSS feeds were created, they erroneously had an extra timezone appended to the `dc:date` element, which causes validation errors. In most of the feeds we rely only upon `pubDate`; it's not clear to me why we additionally use `dc:date` in the few places we do, but I suppose it doesn't hurt anything. The other two places using it are `subreddit.xml`, which never had the extra timezone, and `comment.xml`, in which it was removed three years ago (reddit/reddit@5675398). This fixes the last incorrect instance. Note: Although the reporter says they got an error in the W3C validator and the format is clearly wrong, in my tests the validator passed the previous, incorrect feed. *shrug* [0]: http://redd.it/2r1plf
