Item dates in "favorite" RSS feeds

I would very much like if the dates of the favorite RSS feed's items reflected the date it was marked a favorite, not when it was taken.

If, for example, today I click on "Select as favorite" on a picture taken in 1969, it doesn't make much sense for the feed to say the photo was published as one of my favorites before I was even born (-:

Hey Andreas,

Nice thought, but the suggestion would result in some problems if implemented -- mostly leading back to the fact that we're using the exact same code to generating the RSS feed no matter which photos it contains. First, your suggestion would mean having to condition that code (which would be doable, of course...) but some of the Favorite RSS feeds are based on having more than one person select a given photo as a favorite. In those cases, there's no clear-cut way to choose which date to use.

Finally, I would probably find it kinda interesting that you've selected a photo taken 40 years ago as your favorite ;-)
