Any pace that claims to be clarifying this part of the spec needs
to explain where "John Doe" materialized from. I've mentioned
this at least once before, and indicated it's probably acquired
in a stateful/out of protocol manner in the implementations that
haven't been bitten by it. we have patched atom:title but not
atom:author (or atom:summary for meeja resources). I'd like to
see this point addressed.
Agreed.
On this - we can table it later if nothing jumps out right now. I
don't think it's worth holding up a decision/draft.
Actually, I think wording to fill the in the blanks would be
helpful. Something like:
"Observe that the publishing system in this case filled in some
values not provided in the original POST. For example, presumably it
ascertained the author's name via the authentication protocol used to
establish the right to post."
