It would be great to hear about those issues. For what it's worth, we released our "v1" spec of SSE today. (Not to say that there isn't room for more discussion.) We also renamed it to "FeedSync", hoping that name might be a little easier to remember/spell/etc. The new spec is on http://feedsync.org/spec/. > We have use cases for offline synchronization, bidirectional sync, > seeding search engines, spam control, more efficient subscription > models > (e.g. just give me the changes since the last time I checked), and so > on.

We considered a separate spec for tombstones that was independent of the other sync extensions. It didn't seem worth it given the benefit of having all of the sync-related extensions in a single, coherent spec. If you want spam control, chances are pretty good you want one-way sync, and at that point you want more than just tombstones. Steven
