Josh -- Don't worry about the suggestion vs. defect. Only the issue tracker admins can change that (not by choice).
Your expectations of feedFind and feedLookup are correct. We are pulling the feedLookup results from another service at Google, which is the service responsible for indexing the feeds. It only pulls one feed per site, and uses the first: <link rel="alternate"> As the single feed to associate with a site. While I agree that this isn't a perfect model, it's probably not likely to change at this point. So I'd encourage you to rely on finely tuned findFeed requests to grab more than one feed associated with a site. Sorry for the inconvenience. -Ben On Fri, Nov 7, 2008 at 9:44 AM, Joshua Bronson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hey Ben, > > On Wed, Nov 5, 2008 at 7:30 PM, Ben Lisbakken <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Hey Josh -- >> So I updated the ticket >> > > Thanks. > > >> but it looks more like it would be a 'suggestion' than a 'defect'. >> > > Agreed.
