+1 > However, this Pace needed work; first of all, it was based on link > constructs, which no longer exist. So I revised it. I based it on Link Constructs because I was (a) trying to avoid spec bloat, and (b) being lazy. The Link Construct did provide for more than just a URI though -- there's @type, a title attribute (which could be used for the @alt), and (pushing it) @hreflang for those atom:image with text rendered. I'm happy to lose @hreflang, a user agent could use /feed/head/tagline instead of @title, and @type really isn't necessary because the set of image formats is pretty stable. So, +1. (with minor revisions ... change the section numbers to suit -05, and added cardinality to section "4.2 the atom:head element", otherwise the spec wouldn't say just where those elements could be used) > Second, along with turning Icon and Image from <link> into their own > elements, it changed the cardinality, allowing more than one > <atom:image> in <atom:head>.

Yep, copy/pasto ... no, wait ... it actually said: >> === 4.2.y atom:image Element === >> >> �The "atom:icon" element�is�a Link construct that conveys a URI to an >> �image resource which provides visual identification for a feed. The >> �image SHOULD have an aspect ratio of 2 (horizontal) to 1 (vertical). 2:1, but I did have a copy/pasto brainfart with the name of the element in the prose of the section. > Having said all that, I'm +1 on PaceIconAndImage. +1 > I'm -1 on PaceMultipleImages, this is an experimental feature, Atom, > doesn't need those, YAGNI. fair enough - there's been enough flack over multiple content. e.
