I'd like to propose an extension that would allow something very much like icon and logo to be added to an entry, the way it currently is allowed on a feed. I have been publishing entries like this for over a year now [1], and so has James Gosling [2], and other users of BlogEd. It would be really nice to keep
this semantic information in the feed somehow.

Perhaps something like:

<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>

     <title>Example Feed</title>
     <link href="http://example.org/"/>
     <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
     <author>
       <name>John Doe</name>
     </author>
     <id>urn:uuid:60a76c80-d399-11d9-b93C-0003939e0af6</id>
     <logo>./Image1-large.jpeg</logo>
     <icon>./Image1-small.jpeg</icon>
     <entry>
       <title>Atom-Powered Robots Run Amok</title>
       <ext:logo>./Image5-large.jpeg</logo>
       <ext:icon>./Image5-small.jpeg</icon>
       <link href="http://example.org/2003/12/13/atom03"/>
       <id>urn:uuid:1225c695-cfb8-4ebb-aaaa-80da344efa6a</id>
       <updated>2003-12-13T18:30:02Z</updated>
       <summary>Some text.</summary>
     </entry>
</feed>

Though from what I have said in other posts about relative uris in
extension elements I suppose it would be better to have a new link type.

Any ideas?
