Hi all,

I have noticed an issue with the weblogger site-wide feeds. For example, in the recent entries Atom feed pulling from the default planet, the "updated" element is older than the most recent entry. This came up as an issue with our separate use of the planet aggregator. Any configured planet that consumes one of the site-wide feeds from the weblogger will only update when the "updated" date is incremented. NetNewsWire on the other hand could care less, and only looks at the actual entry dates.

Options:

1. Alter the weblogger code such that the updated or lastBuildDate value matches the most recent entry in the feed.

2. Alter the planet aggregator code such that it ignores the updated or lastBuildDate values of the target feed.

I would vote for number one as based on the Atom spec, am entirely new entry would satisfy the significant verbiage of the updated element.

Trying to rule out anything specific in the blogs.sun.com environment, I have also reproduced this in a more stock development build/deploy. Has anyone else seen this or do I have something mis- configured etc?
