I assume your goal is to enable folks like Tim Bray to make significant updates to a blog post and then somehow have that indicated to readers. This doesn't change my opinion about how useful atom:updated or atom:modified will be in practice. I can understand that the cost/benefit for adding one of them may be satisfactory but definitely don't think it is for adding both. Also has any blog vendor or author of a blog posting tool actually indicated they think adding a 'indicate this post has had significant changes in the Atom feed' button to the UI for editing post is something they are likely to do? From my perspective as someone who now works on a blog service (http://spaces.msn.com for those that don't read my blog) I doubt that we'd want to put something like that in our UI. ===== THINGS TO DO IF I BECOME AN EVIL OVERLORD #222 I reserve the right to execute any henchmen who appear to be a little too intelligent, powerful, or devious.
