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.
I made some proposals for cache control info (expires and max-age).
That might work for this.
I missed these proposals. I've been giving some thought to an <expires
/> and <max-age /> extension myself and was getting ready to write up a
draft. Expires is a simple date construct specifying the exact moment
(inclusive) that the entry/feed expires. Max-age is a non negative
integer specifying the number of miliseconds (inclusive) from the moment
specified by atom:updated when then entry/feed expires. The two cannot
appear together within a single entry/feed and follows the same basic
rules as atom:author elements.
