As I've explained before, atom:origin is largely useless in aggregated feeds.[2] On the other hand, RSS's <source/> element is useful since it communicates the most important information that an aggregator needs to know about an entry's source feed when it displays that entry. The PaceHeadInEntry defines a mechanism which should be combined with an atom:source, similar to that defined by RSS V2.0, in order to properly support the embedding of entries in aggregated feeds.
I would like to see PaceHeadInEntry on the next work queue.
Fwiw, I came up with atom:origin. It was designed very deliberately to stir the pot around
1) aggregated feeds, 2) relationships between feeds and entries, 3) Atom's identity model.
I don't know whether references or values are the way to go, but I know we can do better; and the other feed formats are in no great shape either.
In the meantime we have a lot to get through on this work queue and I'm not prepared to add another thread onto the recent list activity (Bray has been stirring a pot of his own). I request that we put this one aside for now.
cheers Bill
