Dave, Thanks for the post. That is some really good information. But, I have a follow up question maybe you can help me with. I am really new to this, so sorry if this makes no sense. I see his point about the Atom 1.0 standard, and I like it. But he is saying to also support RSS standards... Will the Atom feed degrade nicely for an RSS feed? Or is he saying to have two separate feeds, one RSS standard, one Atom standard and let the people choose?
Thanks, .......................

The first paragraph or two is just a setup, but he then goes into your situation exactly and proposes the best way to work around your problem. http://www.unto.net/unto/work/on-rss-and-atom/ Perhaps this entry will help you sort out your questions.
