nitpickers welcome.
I have this spec text in my draft Pace...
atom:head elements MAY contain one or more atom:foo elements, so long no two atom:foo elements have the same combination of atom:hreflang, xml:lang, or atom:type.
I also considered writing it like this...
atom:head elements MAY contain one or more atom:foo elements, so long as they differ in the values they have for the attributes atom:hreflang, xml:lang, or atom:type.
I'm not comfortable with either wording. Seems clumsy.
The first seems quite clear to me, the second is clumsy and open to misinterpretation.
meta-question: should the spec even bother asserting this restriction?
Probably not without good justification.
