I don't see that. "atom:origin2" is your invention, not Tim's. Tim
referred to "what atom:origin provides by reference." I was pointing out
that atom:origin provides nothing "by reference" in that it doesn't pass
anything which can be de-referenced. Thus, you "Can't get there from here"
using atom:origin as defined -- if where you're trying to get is the feed
that was the "origin" for the entry.
If atom:origin had been defined as an URL, I would have agreed that
"PaceHeadInEntry provides by value what atom:origin provides by reference."
But, atom:origin isn't a re-referenceable URL so the answer to Tim's
question is "No. It ain't so!"
