For that matter, I’ve been meaning to address some weaknesses in that test suite which Liferea 1.0 highlights. Liferea does URI fixup for Atom links in its feed parser, but merely uses the entry’s alternate URI as the base URI when rendering content. So it succeeds legitimately on cases that test things like atom:link, but then accidentally succeeds on a number of cases that involve atom:content where it should be failing. I’ve been meaning to add some aggressive tests which use xml:base values that differ drastically from the nearby alternate URIs in order to smoke out such coincidentally passing tests, as well as some intentionally evil tests with `type="xhtml"` where xml:base is set on elements inside the xhtml:div. I expect to see a lot of aggregators fall from grace with such an expanded test suite. Sam: is it possible to host the test suites directly on the wiki, by having pages that consist entirely of verbatim text? Ideally, the content should be rendered inside the wiki chrome using `<pre>` tags, but be downloadable without the chome by way of adding something like `?display=raw;type=application/atom+xml` to the page URI. That would make it much easier for more people to pitch in. I find the collection of tests we have so worryingly minimal; a lot of the currently lesser used corners of the format are not being tested at all. It makes me nervous that dirty data based on current incomplete implementation behaviour may become too widespread for aggregator developers to be able to ignore it.
