What is a category, in Atom, really? It is whatever it is defined to be. Simple extension elements are the same way. What is the difference in meaning between these two elements?: <atom:category scheme='http://scheme.example.org/' term='fact'/> <fact xmlns='http://scheme.example.org/'/> You can't tell what either of them means without knowing something about "http://scheme.example.org"; and its "fact" component. They might even mean exactly the same thing. > Maybe I'm misunderstanding your entire point, in that case, my apology. My point is that atom:category is underspecified, so it is better to just let end-users do whatever they want with it, and use something else for things that are supposed to have precise, computer-actionable semantics. - Brian
