Six Apart is looking to develop an experimental implementation of the
Feed Thread extension for Atom. However, I have a few questions:
I see this extension as a logical place to list all feedback (both comments and
trackbacks). However, I don’t see a way for the extension to differentiate
between the two types of feedback an entry may receive. Does anyone know of a
way to achieve that?
I'd say that
« If a comment uses an atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"alternate"] or an
atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED], it is considered a "remote comment" (similar to
trackback/postback). If using atom:link to link to the remote resource,
the content might be included in atom:content as well. Remote comments
should provide an atom:summary.
If a comment has no atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]"alternate"] and no
atom:content/@src, it is a "local comment" (comment added on an entry,
similar to "comment submission HTML forms"). Local comments must use
atom:content and shouldn't use atom:summary. »
