implement an MVC architecture where the layers all spoke Atom to one

mediated by way of an Atom feed. Search would simply be an OpenSearch
implementation that the application itself exposed and consumed.
Any thoughts or pointers to similar approaches out there??
I don't know to what extent O'Reilly would be willing to publicly share,
but some aspects of what you describe sound like things that O'Reilly
has done with their internal APP repository which purportedly[1] holds
"hundreds of books, thousands of articles, and hundreds of thousands of
images"
Hey,
You're indeed thinking along the same lines as we are (currently experimenting
with). I'm pushing on some folks internally for more details and hope to get
back to you with more meat before too long...

PS: For the record, the current "Finished Goods Warehouse", which is the most
purely APP-based internal store, has 840+ books & 179,870 images, but I'm sure
Google and others have quite a bit more stuff in an APP instance.
