Take a look at the hAtom draft. This should fit your needs.

Thank you, but if you look at:

        http://www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/new.htm

... hAtom seems to be overkill.

There's no "author" on each entry, which is a requirement for hAtom -
nor can I see why there should be, since every entry on the page has the
same author.

Andy,

According to the hAtom draft [1], if you omit the "author" property, it'll look for the "nearest-in-parent" [2] <address> element. You only need to include this once.

There is no headline/ entry pair; just a single piece of text describing the change.

Just include that as the title of the entry. The "entry-content" property isn't required.

Here's a quick stab at your page. I'm using the "published" property in lieu of "updated" (if "updated" is missing, it's assumed to be the "published" date):

  <ol class="hfeed">
    <li class="hentry">
<h3 class="entry-title">Details and images of the two revised editions of <a href="...">Birds of the Malvern District</a> added to our bibliography.</h3> <abbr class="published" title="2006-09-21T15:00:00-01:00">21 September</abbr>
    </li>
    <li class="hentry">
<h3 class="entry-title">Our <a href="...">September 2006 Bulletin</a> is out now.</h3> <abbr class="published" title="2006-09-21T12:00:00-01:00">21 September</abbr>
    </li>
    ...
  </ol>

  ...

  <address class="vcard">
<a class="fn org url" href="http:// www.westmidlandbirdclub.com/">Westmidland Bird Club</a>
  </address>

You could mark this up as a table as well, but that seems to be overkill.

Hope this helps!
