Over the past couple of weeks I've been working on a number of proposed
Atom extensions that I am moving forward with as standards-track RFC's
through individual submission.
I believe that the Expiration extension --
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-snell-atompub-feed-expires-04.txt
-- is complete and ready for an unofficial last call. Before I submit
this to Scott Hollenbeck asking for it t become a standards-track RFC, I
would like to invite the members of the WG to comment | praise |
complain | improve | all-of-the-above. In >= 2 weeks I'll make any
appropriate changes and submit the draft to Scott.
Summary: introduces a mechanism for specifying a date-time or maximum
age for the informational content of a feed or entry
Example:
<feed>
...
<age:expires>2005-12-12T12:00:00Z</age:expires>
<entry>
...
<updated>2005-11-11T12:00:00Z</updated>
<age:max-age>20000</age:max-age>
</entry>
</feed>
The metadata in the feed element expires at noon on Dec , 12 2005,
The metadata in the entry element expires 20000 miliseconds after
noon on Nov, 11, 2005.
