They’re trying to do something useful, but in the wrong way. Both seem to stem from a desire to be able to link feeds other than those which are an alternate of the page in question. But we already have a name for doing that: it’s called “linking to something.” Now, it’d be useful to encourage people to add `type` attributes to their `<a>` links, so tools could find them just by looking at the page without spidering. But `rel` does not add any information. The page is simply linking to another resource. So +1 to encouraging `type`, -1 on fiddling with `rel` at all (let alone going around changing values). In fact, semantically, we should be encouraging people to move things out of their `<link>`s and into `<a>`s in the page. After all, the infrastructure for doing something useful with feeds when a user clicks on a link in the page already exists: MIME types and and `atom:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'self']`. This infrastructure is not well supported; true. But new autodiscovery syntax is not going to become well supported any quicker. >Can we please un-expire this: >http://philringnalda.com/rfc/draft-ietf-atompub-autodiscovery-01.html >and be done? +1 Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
