But clearly a lot of people want to be able to have atom:modified
change only when a significant change occurs. Ie. They want to be
able to be able to signal the difference between a major change
("re-read my post") and a minor editorial change "I just fixed a
typo, there is nothing else to see here".
So if we do not add app:modified there will be no way to
distinguish these two use cases. Publishing servers will be stuck
with the following dilemma: if they allow the user to
determine :updated, it will be very difficult for a blog editor
(such as BlogEd) to do correct synchronization
Every time I edit a wikipedia page, there's a check-box which I can
click to say "this is a minor edit". Seems to work. What's the
problem? -Tim
