atom:content/@src is not recognized as a link in LiveBookmark

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Subsrive to an Atom feed which contains at least one atom:entry with
atom:content/@src in LiveBookmark
Actual Results:  
No links to those entries are shown, unless alternate atom:link is found

Expected Results:  
atom:content/@src should be shown as link even though there are other alternate atom:link since atom:content/@src represents the actual location of the content of  the entry

Refer to Bug 374226 for the same issue in feed reading view.

won't fix without a use case. the distinction can be important, but not for our uses.

I am sorry, but I am not sure what a "use case" is. In case no feed reader supports atom:content/@src, no one will use it.
