Atompub protocol status, late March

[Tim Bray]

I'm really happy to see all the interop testing and clients & servers  
popping up.  Neither Paul nor I are very eager to try to bring the  
process to a close while this progress is happening, but at some  
point we'll have to.

It looks to me like there's an easy change pending in required  
response body to a POST, although I don't think any of the Paces have  
the wording quite right.  I'll try a draft myself.

Also, I hear repeated implementor complaints about media  
collections.  [Since my site has 1,114 pictures and a few movies at  
the moment, this is something I care about :) ]  There are a few  
Paces in play, it would be great if the implementors were to converge  
on some edit that would reduce/eliminate the Media-collection pain.   
Have they, while I wasn't looking?

Finally, where do we stand on categories?  Have any of the  
implementors pulled something together category handling and  
established what The Right Way to do it is?  Are there proposals for  
APP changes based on this experience?
