Are there any recommended practices? I've adopted Media RSS (http://video.search.yahoo.com/mrss) - using XML::Atom::Ext::Media perl module. It works for me, but I don't serve Atom to users yet and using it for internal communication only, so any sane approach would work for me - I don't worry too much if it standard or not yet.
Media information is included into Entry element, but yes, I embed this info in links. Using In-lining extension for Atom which is RFC draft. http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-mehta-atom-inline-01 so I've got something like <link> <ae:inline xmlns:ae="http://purl.org/atom/ext/";> <entry> <media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"; height="640" width="400"/> </entry> </ae:inline> </link> Here is XML::Atom extension I've made for In-lining support: http://github.com/pin/xml-atom-ext-inline/blob/master/lib/XML/Atom/Ext/Inline.pm Sorry for so perlish point of view. And I'm not sure if it relevant for you, but hope this helps... -- Dmitri Popov
