consistent naming: attribute vs. feature #484

The API is not entirely consistent when it comes to the terms "attribute" and "feature". The former seems to be used more frequently, but at least in the "get data features" REST API call, the same entities are referred to as features. The returned xml / json objects also use the names "features" and "feature".

Please be consistent.

It seems that the API always uses features, except for the special features (e.g. default_attribute) Not sure how to fix this now.
