Not really..
The guidelines specify to "prepend" a getter/setter with a dollar sign if it
overrides an inherited getter/setter.
<quote>
If a class overrides a getter/setter and wants to continue to expose the base getter/setter, it should do so by implementing a
property whose name is the base name with a $ prepended. This getter/setter should be marked final and should do nothing more than
call the supergetter/setter.

gd$comments
gd$rating
gd$feedLink
AFAIK, those have nothing to do with that.
If they did, they would be:
$gdComments
$gdRating
$gdFeedLink
indicating overriding inherited properties: gdComments, gdRating, gdFeedLink
Again, my guess is they want to indicate they represent the GData API xml ellements which
use the "gd" namespace.

I haven't looked at the YouTube API at all by the way, so I'm just guessing :)
