Renaming X-Yadis-Location to X-XRDS-Location provides two benefits:

We have a name which is independent from the final user-aware protocol name (see Yadis Naming).
It makes more clear what kind of document we are referencing here, it is an XRDS, maybe even the one which would have been returned if a user had entered an i-name/XRI instead of the HTTP-URI, anyway it might include other elements not covered by the Yadis specification (the header/http-equiv meta becomes more "generic").\
