So, if I read you correctly, it sounds like you have a method
whereby a 'top20' feed wouldn't need history:prev to give the kind
of history that you're thinking of, right?
If that's the case, I'm tempted to just tweak the draft so that
history:stateful is optional if history:prev is present. I was
considering dropping stateful altogether, but I think something is
necessary to explicitly say "don't try to keep a history of my
feed." My latest use case for this is the RSS feed that Netflix
provides to let you keep an eye on your queue (sort of like top20,
but more specialised).
Sound good?
Sounds good to me.
But I would really like some way to specify that the next feed
document is an archive (ie. won't change). This would make it easy
for clients to know when to stop following the links, ie, when
they have cought up with the changes since they last looked at the feed.
Perhaps something like this:
<history:prev archive="yes">http://liftoff.msfc.nasa.gov/2003/04/
feed.rss</history>
