Somehow, we don't seem to have any category element in the format-draft. Huh? It's in RSS2 and it's widely deployed, although it hasn't been all that useful. Also I note that the protocol design team is worrying about querying and defining categories. I don't see anything wrong with RSS2's category element, so I've proposed something along the same lines: http://www.intertwingly.net/wiki/pie/PaceCategoryElement -Tim
Good idea, -1 on the details.
If there can be zero or more, The categories should be placed in an atom:categories block (we made this mistake before with entries and solved in inversely via the atom:head element). The idea of a path based syntax is overconstraining. The @domain attribute is redundant - let people use URIs if they want to use URIs. Feed level catgeories are dubious if only because a whole side-thread will start on catgegory defaulting.
This would be enough:
atom:entry
- atom:categories?
- atom:category +cheers Bill
