That is not a subtle nuance but an incorrect interpretation. By that same logic it does not outlaw using [EMAIL PROTECTED]/atom+xml,@rel=alternate] to point to an RSS feed, or a PNG. The autodiscovery spec would be the only RFC that defines the behaviour of [EMAIL PROTECTED]/atom+xml,@rel=alternate], and the verbage in the autodiscovery spec is unambiguous about that fact that it is talking about feeds and not entries. -joe -- Joe Gregorio http://bitworking.org
