Does Atom allow this? That remains to be seen. Personally I'm hopeful that we've got past the assumption that namespaces alone will save us, and that we (will) have usable hooks which will make the format & protocol genuinely extensible, rather than just inheriting an 'X' in the title.
OK, fair enough. How about
<entry xmlns="http://purl.org/atom/ns#draft-ietf-atompub-format-03"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#";> <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title> <link href="http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03"/> <id>vemmi://example.org/2003/32397</id> <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated> <rdf:RDF>...</rdf:RDF> </entry>
This is just like RSS1, except there's a URI identifying the entry
I'm not sure I understand your point here. RSS 1.0 certainly also has a URI identifying the entry (or 'item') -- the rdf:about attribute. So this could be written as:
<item xmlns="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/"; xmlns:rdf="http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#"; xmlns:dcterms="http://purl.org/dc/terms/"; rdf:about="vemmi://example.org/2003/32397"; > <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title> <link>http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03";</link> <dcterms:modified>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</dcterms:modified>
<!-- extra RDF here -->
</item>
The RSS 1.0 spec doesn't mandate that an item's rdf:about be identical to it's <link>, just that it should be if possible.
