I think the reason that was presented is that people prefer to publish
just HTML instead of HTML + a feed. Should be somewhere in the WHATWG
archives.
Personally, I don't buy that. HTML pages that qualify as material for
news feeds are usually generated from a different source, such as a
database of news entries, or actually a feed document (this is how I do
it). Publishing both is simple, and actually saves bandwidth for those
just needing the Atom version.
This what I'm thinking as well. If there's no back-end store and all you
have is text of some sort stored in the file system, 99 out of 100 times
I'd choose to store Atom documents in the file system and transform these
to HTML with XSLT rather than the other way around, especially when the
algorithm defined to do so is so ridiculous as it is.
Frankly I'd toss the whole thing out. Then again, I'd say the same for a
good deal of HTML5.
Same here.
+1.
