The mental model I've been assuming in developing Demokritos is
that the collection feeds are just for use by APP clients and each
Atom server will have some separate mechanism for configuring what
feeds are published more generally.
So, for example, a collection feed for a blog might only be visible
to me and might contain summaries and out-of-line content for use
only by my APP client. Quite separate from this, I can configure a
publicly available full-content feed, summary-only feed, categories
feeds, author-specific feeds, etc.
Is this what other people are thinking as the common practice for
APP-powered blogs?
Yes, that is how the Roller blog server implementation works. We have
one Servlet that serves up Atom feeds for public consumption (/atom)
and one that handles the APP (/app).
