No surprise I guess, but I am a huge +1. Lock this spec down and ship
it.

Subject: Feed Thread in Last Call


Hey all,

I'm happy to announce that the Feed Thread extension (draft -10) [1] has
entered Last Call. [2]

The thr:count and thr:when extension attributes are back in Draft -10
following the recent on-list discussion and post by Tim Bray affirming
that the atom:link element is indeed extensible.  I fully recognize that
not everyone on list agrees with this approach, but after trying to
propertly implement alternatives, re-reading RFC4287 and surveying folks
who I know have already done the work necessary to implement Feed
Thread, I believe the decision to keep thr:when and thr:count as
attributes is the right decision.

At this point, Feed Thread support has been deployed in Friendster,
Typepad, and MovableType.  I have also added Feed Thread support to my
Wordpress and Roller blog templates.  IBM has plans to ship at least one
product with Feed Thread support in the not too distant future (our Atom
Publishing Protocol interop/test endpoint currently contains support for
Feed Thread).

If you do or do not want to see Feed Thread move forward as a Proposed
Standard, now is the time to step up and make your case. :-)

- James
