- Attribute Value: subscribe
I'm puzzled by this one. I thought that if you wanted to subscribe to a
feed then, well, you would subscribe to a feed. I must have missed the
discussion. Could someone provide a pointer to the archive? -Tim
The idea being that if you were to come across an archived Atom document
(however that might happen), the presence of this link would, (a) let you
know that it was an archive document and thus shouldn't be subscribed to,
and (b) provide you with a URL with which you could subscribe to the actual
feed if you so chose.
For reference, see here (end of the message):

Also this thread (discusses the fh:archive element which served a similar
purpose):
