I'm not sure you have understood me. I'm not talking about the application level but from the HTTP level. If we update the feed each time we update the thr attributes then we screw the HTTP cache big time and waste bandwith. If we don't update them to avoid that issue then those attributes are just useless. Personally I have no interest in doing either way. - Sylvain
