A quick skim of the last 1000 messages on this list doesn't reveal recent discussion. Apologies if the issue's been put to bed and I'm just being clueless.
I'm building an Atom feed for the changes to norman.walsh.name. Whether you want to track changes to my blog is open to question, but a feed of changes to a repository I cared about would definitely be of interest to me. Here's an example of what I'm generating now: <entry> <title>Revision 20</title> <!-- This is a lie. --> <link rel="alternate" type="text/html" href="http://norman.walsh.name/"/> <id>http://norman.walsh.name/Subversion/R20</id> <updated>2005-02-11T12:34:51.027481Z</updated> <author> <name>ndw</name> </author> <summary type="TEXT">Fixed URI typo</summary> <content type="TEXT">Fixed URI typo M /2005/02/09/subversion.xml</content> </entry> The problem is that link element. Each entry represents a revision to the repository and that revision doesn't have any alternate representation. The options as I see them: 1. I could lie. 2. I could leave it out and not worry about it. 3. I could be devious and use: http://norman.walsh.name/atom/subversion.xml#xpointer('/1/2/6') Though I'd have to use content type="HTML" then, I think. 4. Actually go and create a representation and point to it. 5. Persuade the WG to make link optional if there's a content construct that isn't empty. I might do 4, just because I want to be compliant and it wouldn't be that hard, but I would guess that most folks won't do that. Maybe we've already decided to do 5 and I'm just behind the times. Otherwise, can I convince the WG to do that? :-) Be seeing you, norm -- Norman Walsh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | I have come to believe that the whole http://nwalsh.com/ | world is an enigma, a harmless enigma | that is made terrible by our own mad | attempt to interpret it as though it | had an underlying truth.--Umberto Eco
