Quoting Joe Gregorio <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:I think allowing multiple atom:category elements

I read the textual content part as that would be the specific category an item
was posted to, not that the / would separate the categories. Example:
<category>/music/NIN/</category>
Meaning this item was posted into the specific NIN category.
Is this your thinking Tim?
If we do go with a separated list, I would prefer a white space separated
list
as opposed to "/". I will point to the HTML link elements @rel
attribute as prior art.
What about the following?
<category>Nine Inch Nails</category>
You'd want, <category>Nine+Inch+Nails</category>?
-1 to multiple categories in one <atom:category />.
+1 to multiple <atom:category />s.
-1 to any MUSTs for how categories are to be expressed ("slash-separated hierarchical"...).
-0.9 to any SHOULDs on how categories are to be expressed.
+0.1 to @domain being optional.
