If it made sense for CMIS to use it, then yes.  Especially if it becomes
the best practice to advertise an atom extension.

It would be helpful if the feature markup included a way to specify an URI
to get the feature-specific info such as the block below.  That would help
make the service document easier to produce and the client can request the
feature-specific block if desired.

Ok this is good to see. The main question is whether there is sufficient
reason to define a generic features/capabilities extension. There certainly
are good arguments in favor. If a generic ext was available would cmis use
it?

CMIS adds CMIS element to the workspace element in the atompub service
document. I am not aware of requirements from CMIS for representing
features at the collection level.

FYI - Here's an example of the features/capabilities CMIS advertises in the
atompub workspace element:

Ok, so we'd made quite a bit of progress on the Atom features draft a
while back and then I decided to sit and watch to see if there was a
strong enough need for the extensions. At this point, I have not seen
anyone jumping up and down demanding the functionality provided by the
Features draft so I'm wondering if I should just consider it Dead for
Good. Thoughts?
