Does anyone know of an extension or mechanism that can indicate whether a given feed is a complete representation of the content it encompasses, or is just a summary?

 

Here is the use case:

 

  • Both LiveJournal and TypePad give users the option of not publishing the complete content of their posts inside their feed. In stead, we publish a summary of the post in the <summary> element. That’s logical enough. We see there being value however in being able to communicate to the reader that the contents represented by an <entry> element is not a complete representation of that entry.

 

Is there an existing mechanism for this anywhere? An extension perhaps?
