This Pace will break every aggregator on the planet, but > then again, so will Atom 1.0 feeds, so... +0. :-) My belief is that RSS/Atom is at the point of crossing the chasm [1] and going mainstream, and as such if we want the momentum to continue we should be mindful of two things: * adding features/functions/tweaks which appeal to geeks and other 'insiders' is counter-productive * not fixing any warts or bugs which non-geeks won't understand why they get broken behaviour is counter-productive. There is thus a filter to be applied to any suggestions for "improvements". Changing 'alternative' to 'feed' fits the second criteria, but adding <a/> fits the first. So, +1 to PaceDifferentRelValue, -1 to PaceAnchorSupport. e. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crossing_the_Chasm
