Happy New Year. I want to add content to an atom:entry, but it's intended for use by computers not humans. I know atom:content can hold arbitrary XML, but I'm not sure if I should use that or if I should put it as a direct child of the atom:entry element.
I don't like usurping the "human-readable" intent of atom:content. Also, since it's Language-Sensitive, I have a slight concern about someone translating machine field names and the like. There's a (slight) chance that the content could from different components, which is why I prefer inserting elements into atom:entry instead of "rewriting" atom:content. I don't have any justficiation for that other than "gut feel" however. I want to be able to associate a schema with the data (see http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/blogs/page/soma), and using atom:entry seems cleaner. But it's a small matter to say the schema link relation is scoped to the atom:entry atomInlineOtherContent type. So, what should I do? /r$ -- Visiting Member, IBM Academy STSM, DataPower Chief Programmer WebSphere DataPower SOA Appliances http://www.ibm.com/software/integration/datapower/
