This tries to address my concern earlier, about an author generating entries, with only one feed. I like the basic idea of enabling differentiation between 'stable' and other feeds. Now I'm confused about the feed metadata and stability of feed uri's. Any one site could now have n instances, each being a feed, the only variant (apart from entries) being the links to previous feeds. If I'm to say *this* is my feed, I guess I point to the most recent... which will change over time? With the example of 15 entries per, feed1 1..15 feed4 45..60 my 'feed' for my site rolls over from feed1...n as time progresses? This smells like a kludge to me Mark. I'd *like* to have a single url which is my feed. Using this logic presented, if I'm going to chunk my feed then I can't have a stable feed url? Equally I'm not happy about a moderate blog keeping all entries in one feed. It won't take long for the instance to become significant in size. -- Regards, Dave Pawson XSLT + Docbook FAQ http://www.dpawson.co.uk
