However, I think the most important changes have to be made to the Abdera server implementation, in order to properly gather error conditions. For example, the whole Atom validation stuff, currently performed by the ProviderHelper class, could be refactored (where "refactoring" here is somewhat improperly used, but you get the idea) in order to be performed by a specific "Validator" class, which would better handle error conditions. There would probably be several refactorings/modifications, so I'd like to know if you, guys, are interested in such an issue.
