One of the bits that bothers me is the right way to extend the GData data. Here's one example. Many systems now have a status field (What am I doing now?) of 140 ->255 chars. Some also have a location field (Where am I now?). These are typically made up of multiple fields eg from Twitter. <status> <created_at>Thu Nov 08 13:38:03 +0000 2007</created_at> <id>398129912</id> <text>My Status Update Text</text> <source>web</source> <truncated>false</truncated> <user> ... </user> </status> It does seem to me that there's some commonality here across all the systems that have this type of status. At the very minimum, and using a more GData style. <status> <updated>2007-11-02T06:36:28+00:00</updated> <id>http://www.domain.com/status/entry/398129912</id> <text>My Status Update Text</text> </status> Now obviously this doesn't fit into gd:extendedProperty unless we do something like <gd:extendedProperty name="status"> <updated>2007-11-02T06:36:28+00:00</updated> <id>http://www.domain.com/status/entry/398129912</id> <text>My Status Update Text</text> </gd:extendedProperty> I want to do this in a way that Myspace, Twitter, Jaiku, Pownce, Ecademy, etc could all support in the same way and developers could understand the data immediately.
