Why the zip? Atom is an envelope format that can transport binary content. So is tar. Just gzip the Atom feed; instead of .tar.gz (which usually compresses better than zips) you get .atom.gz. Hmm. Maybe we should call these Atomballs? Buckminsterfullerenes? :-) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
