Ok, I don't think there is any benefit in the normal case (feed ::= meta, (meta, content)*), but the recursive nesting method makes it possible to convey information about relationships between feeds. Which begs the questions: How useful are the semantics of one feed containing another? How desirable is it to convey such information in Atom format? Cheers, Danny. -- http://dannyayers.com
