What I'm wondering here is whether or not a <retracted /> or <retracts /> element could be used for this purpose. The <retracted /> element would be used within an entry to indicate that the entry has been retracted. The <retracts /> element would be used within a second entry to identify it as a retraction for some preceding entry. For example:
<entry> ... <id>urn:my-entry-1</id> <retrated by="urn:my-entry-2">2005-01-07T12:00:00-8:00</retracted> ... </entry> <entry> ... <id>urn:my-entry-2</id> <retracts>urn:my-entry-1</retracts> </entry> The retraction elements can be defined externally to the Atom core.
