Ugh. Sigh. Yeah, okay. I can see that. Can we still include language that if it’s an Atom entry being replied to, the atom:id of the original entry is REQUIRED? Also, that if it’s an RSS feed, then using the GUID value if provided is strongly encouraged? (I’d like to make that RECOMMENDED, but that’s too strong a requirement for reliance on an OPTIONAL feature… sigh.) Sigh… bleh. I hope one day we can forget about RSS… :-( Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
