Good stuff, Julian.
Thanks.
"If the value of type begins with "text/" or ends with "+xml", the content SHOULD be local; that is to say, no "src" attribute should be provided."
I'm not sure I understand what this is for. It seems to discourage putting XML data out-of-band. Why?
It does. The idea is that textual content is more valuable if it's right there in the feed than if you have to go elsewhere to get it. -Tim
I agree that this is the case, but does that require a SHOULD-level requirement? Explaining the issue instead of just trying to enforce it may lead to better results...
Best regards, Julian
