The system publishes a set of Atom feeds. Users can subscribe to those feeds in their feed readers; editing clients can use APP to post new items to those feeds. For simplicity, there is no reason to have two sets of feeds, particularly when, in this system, there could be literally thousands of feeds. Also, we do not make the assumption that reader clients and editing clients will be distinct entities; the users who are subscribing to the feeds are the same users who are editing the content of those feeds, as such they will most likely utilize clients that perform both functions.
