7.1 Should we have language-aware titles in app:collection? 7.2.2.1
says that @title is language sensitive. I guess you may use xml:lang,
but what about multiple language versions of the title.

Bah, you're right, @title should be an element not an attribute
and we should allow mulitple child elements as long as none
of them have the same xml:lang value. Good catch.


+1. However, IMHO, making this kind of change would make obvious the
need to have some means of uniquely identifying a collection within the
introspection document.  I'm not convinced that the href is good enough.
(yes, I know this has been discussed before, but I don't believe we ever
adequately resolved it).

As mentioned in a different thread here recently (sorry for being a little indelicate there - it was very hot and moist here yesterday), I think the spec would get out of the door fastest if the <service> document is removed from the spec completely. If something like this is really needed it can always be defined in a different spec. The protocol spec should narrow its focus on protocol issues as much as possible. A new document is not needed to get the work done.

I filed a pace for titles. If that gets accepted, I'd like to look at edit distance between gdata, introspections and feeds, and think this "use a feed idea" over.

cheers
Bill
